Without spoiling too much, there's this MASSIVE digress where both main characters are presented as some kind of exception to basically all the rules established. Then, after the author spends literally over one hundred chapters setting it all up... we end up with a disappointing wet fart of an ending that just tosses it all aside and goes on to actively destroy everything that's been built up. This author hates ending his works, and it's twice now that we get such a disappointing waste of time for a conclusion to a series.
But hey, I finished it, if only through sheer stubbornness. There were some points where I almost stopped reading, but I guess it's not all that bad if I finished reading it.
