Overall, I found this book to be a frustrating and unsatisfying read.

I honestly couldn't finish "Witch from mercur op". The writing was so poor that it was painful to read. The dialogue was awkward and unrealistic, and the story seemed to jump around without any clear direction. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any depth or personality. I tried to give this book a chance, but it was just too poorly written for me to continue.

I had high hopes for "Witch from mercur op", but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, and I found myself getting bored and disinterested. The world-building lacked detail, making it hard for me to fully immerse myself in the story. The main character's motivations were also unclear, and I struggled to understand why she was making the choices she did.

"Witch from mercur op" had an interesting concept, but the execution was lacking. The writing style was decent, but the pacing was off, making it hard to stay engaged. The characters felt underdeveloped, and their actions often didn't make sense within the context of the story. While there were moments of excitement, they were few and far between. I think this book had some potential, but it ultimately fell short for me.
