Not good storytelling. The writing itself is fine, but everyone's dumb, the plot jumps around stupidly, Nyx never asks the right questions. Couldn't finish it.

Could been great story. But to vaguely written. And for a old immortal, Nyx acts pretty dumb & like he's 15y.o., plus he really WEAK. He been alive for an age. He should be completely trained and badass. This musta been written in one night.
