Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and would not recommend this book.
2. John - 1/5 - "Magic Swamp Dust" was a complete waste of time. The story was cliché and predictable, with no originality or surprises. The dialogue was stilted and full of unnecessary exposition. The world-building was underdeveloped, leaving me with more questions than answers. The author also relied heavily on tired fantasy tropes without adding anything new or interesting. I struggled to finish this book and regretted ever picking it up.
