Finished book 1

SpoilerSPOILERS Empire of Silence

I just finished the book. I’m rating this book in parts. The whole section before he left his home world is a 4-5/10. It was literally nothing. You could have covered that in 2-3 chapters. From there on, I’d say the rest of the book is a 6.5-6.8. I enjoyed some parts, but I can’t give it higher than that. Truly. The main problem with this book is that it’s way longer than it needs to be for what actually happens throughout the whole book, and the things that happened in the book really weren’t that exciting, excluding the Cat storyline, the gladiator storyline, and that one chapter where he had visions. (which was the best chapter in the book). The problem with people recommending this book is that they tell you it’s slow paced,but, what they don’t tell you is that it’s slow paced with really no reward. The book can’t be slow paced and there’s no reward, no truly exciting moment, which is expected from slow paced books. Oh and he’s a fucking simp and I know what I simp is, and he is that so don’t be defending him in these replies.
I’m watching Brazil right now so I’ll start the second book after the game.
