I’ll preface this by saying that this story seems to be targeting a younger audience, so some of my issues with it might come from that.
There are some stylistic issues, like words in bold, overly lengthy paragraphs and a style of prose that goes around in circles. This is also why some of the action scenes are not really smooth or snappy.
However, the overall setting of this story is well establish, and easy to immerses oneself into, albeit somewhat vague at times.
This story tells a tale as old as time; one of a child once rejected and looked down on by his community overcoming many hardships to prove himself to those who have harmed him. This makes the story somewhat predictable, which isn’t an issue in of itself, but can make the read a bit slow when combined with the prose used here.
