Tome of the Undergates (The Aeons' Gate Book 1) by Sam Sykes
In some ways this was a bit refreshing/interesting. But the sample has gone way overboard on the dialogue. Too much hot air. And ultimately a bit too unrealistic. It's like the banter a creative husband and wife will do but occurring in the middle of a pirates attacking a ship and between an entire crew of adventurers and ultimately just... I don't know. Weird and ultimately quickly getting boring as the action is advancing way too slow relative to the repetitive dialogue.
