Finished a freebie, Unsouled by Will Wight. I wanted to try an Asian-themed fantasy and as this one was free .... Unimpressive, sadly. I felt the overall story was interesting, again the execution was more than the author could handle. Despite the early info-dumps there wasn't the necessary character development (especially introspection) for educating us about a different culture and belief system. We have the typical flawed characters, the powerful elite class, honor system and long-range goals. Hopefully, the author's word skill and pacing improves with each book in the series. Rated C- [2 stars].
