Would recommend to anyone? No, but definitely mention to people interested in the genre.This novel has an interesting concept overall, but tries in my opinion to cover too many big storylines either too similar or too different one from the other, hence looking sometimes repetitive, sometimes way too fast paced. Especially unlikeable are psychological/thought process-related parts replaced by a short resuming line (often a quick author direct comment) which is very frustrating. A short, unintroduced sentence about a totally never mentioned preparation that took place in the recent past is often used to counter any blatantly unexpected or potentially huge problem by the author, but it ends up to appear for the badlooking, forced patch on a ripping lore area that it is.Language is not the best, but the reader can usually understand what is written. Sometimes descriptions can be longer than needed, slowing reading pace a little too much.The main lore concept is, like previously mentioned, kind of interesting and developed in a good direction overall. However in the early chapters it looks like a very forced fusion of the most cliché, unneeded fantasy novel details, to the point of being laughable and ruin the plot, but at least doesn't tend to happen again in the novel.Overall not a heavy read, but not too relaxing either.Also, I love Pandas.
