This story started off in a hole, and just never seemed to climb out. The prologue just throws a bunch of stuff at you and I double checked to make sure I hadn't missed a book. There's just too much stuff going on. Then chapter 1 the main character is introduced and he's okay, kind of boring, but clearly the scene is just being set. Chapter 2 introduces an obnoxious group of people. They're supposed to be rough and tough types, but this far in the book I'm just not a huge fan of any of it.
Finally, the story settles in and starts to get good. By the end of book 1 I'm actually pretty invested in what's going on. I like the idea that the supposedly weak country is run by a group of powerful sorcerers who aren't interested in the monotony of governance and would rather let a puppet empress take care of that.
But book 2 is just so tedious. One character after another is brought more into focus and you can't remember who they are or what the people they are plotting against stand for. None of them are particularly likeable or interesting so they all start to blend. There's a whole second story, introduced in book 1 of Ahkmed, that never goes anywhere. And the original storyline that ended book 1 is just pushed into the background and there's almost no progression in it.
I'm just starting book 3 and I'm just not invested at all. Listening to it on Audible, and finally bumped it up to 1.3x speed to try to get to an interesting part and finally giving it up because I'm not retaining anything anymore. I hope Elgar(not sure of the spelling because I have it on Audible) gets defeated, but I won't be there for it. I'm giving it a 3 because the narrator is really good, and another point because I think there's something interesting there, it's just too tedious for me to get there.
