Information dump again and again. Boring.

I remember buying this book a while ago when it first came out and I recently bought the audiobook version. Once I listened to the narrator I remembered why I only got half way through finishing it. The information dumps. Instead of allowing the lore to weasel its way into the book the author fills entire chapters wore of world-building and then smothers the reader with it. It doesn't help that the story in itself is boring.

Plot: MC gets mugged and ends up getting teleported into magic land that is about to have a religious war. Something about gods and spirits and stuff that I just didn't care about.

I can't even go into the characters and their baggage. The main character is Travis who appears to enjoy being an utter idiot. Stating that he would rather die then be a pawn for a god and but continuously puts himself in their cross hairs. He feels more like a tourist than anything else asking the most boring kinds of questions while there is a war happening around him.

Other than a few concepts there is nothing I like about this book.

As for the narration, the narrator feels as if he is trying to rush the reading.
