Wrapped up the first book after much struggle. Am I crazy for finding it extremely poorly written? Writing aside, the characters suck, the motivations suck, and the scenario building feels like it was tossed together by a 12 year old. I don’t get the hype. Everything is paper thin. The fictional science aspect is the most compelling part but as a cohesive whole it fails to land.

    My bad. You’re right Copperfield is way more of a flashy showman.

    I just pulled the first magician I could think of out of my ass. Like a rabbit. Now how the hell did that get up there?
