The first 50 minutes, which is all I have listened to, were simply atrocious.
The worst part is her inner dialogue. Just within this short timeframe, the author manages to repeat every thought the MC has at least 5 times. The level of redundancy is staggering and reminds me of someone that has not a single word to say but has to fill a half-hour presentation and just keeps stalling.

The bit of dialogue is unnatural and illogical and all the characters behave intolerably stupidly.
The time flow in the action scene made no sense. The adversaries just stand around waiting for the other to do whatever. This felt like watching a turn-based RPG fight.

This is on the level of mediocre fan fiction at best and should not have been released as an actual book.
To be fair, as I said earlier, I have only listened to the first 50 minutes of the audiobook and it might turn out there is some incredibly unique world-building, or it's just a rough and unpolished opening and the book eventually finds its stride.
But this is no debut novel. This author apparently has been writing books for years and should know better.
The opening scene is typically the most polished part of a novel and I can't even imagine how bad this will get after such a poor opening.… (mere)
