I had several issues with this book. For one, how the author talked about "European" stuff. I was born and live in Europe, and quite frankly it annoyed me. Europe is not one homogeneous area, but rather a very diverse place.Secondly, I just could not get the worldbuilding. I was so excited because, ...
