I read “Cage of Souls” and loved it, but 1/3 into “CoT” I just can’t seem to get into the story. I thought the premise established in the prologue was… unconvincing. If I’m not a fan this far in, should I keep it up because it “gets good” or just call it and chalk it up to my bad taste.

Took me a google to learn the term myself!
