My main pet peeve with this book is the "inevitable prophecy" bullshit.
I for the life of me can't understand the appeal. It doesn't add anything to a story beyond a spoiled conclusion. I think people keep writing stories with this kind of prophecy for no other reason than they have read it countless times before and somehow got the idea a good fantasy requires a prophecy and not because it actually serves any actual purpose as a plot device.
I personally just really hate the inevitable fate trope. It gives me this feeling that all accomplishments are worthless because they all kind of were fated to happen anyway so it simultaneously makes the MC "the chosen one" and the most replaceable and insignificant character of the story.
As soon as the novelty of the beginning wore off and the same old chosen one rut began, the only thing that kept me somewhat interested was the mc and her developing powers.
The further I got the more obvious it became that the book has no intention to actually deal with all the trauma various characters went through. It's all just magically handwaved away by the fate or the power of friendship or love. And I am not facetious here. It's literally handwaved away by magic. For all the rest only a hug and a tear is needed and everything in the world is right again. It becomes very clear how truly shallow the entire story really is.
The whole suffering at the beginning really is nothing more than a reader trap. There is no more intention visible to use it beyond the "I am not entitled" trump card.
Despite all this, I very much enjoy powertrips like this so I was somewhat entertained nonetheless but even that part could've been done much better.
So, in conclusion, don't expect nearly as much depth as is initially suggested. This is very much a just a shallow powertrip story with an unconventional beginning so far. (
