build on concept that I interpreted as "one man's hero is another man's villain", is fantasy world that's different from others. all with its simple yet functional soft magic system. this setup is something I definitely dig for. then why 3 stars?

... how it actually written. it use long descriptive sentences to give readers informations. you can say it's "tell don't show" kind of novel. it give you lot of unnessary informations while nessary ones are scatter. need some effort to put them together before they can be use. I really feel like reading some kind of research paper when reading it.
