I read it for a while a few years ago, I don't remember how far I got it. I do remember realizing that it was just a "number go up for both the hero and the monster" - nothing was really changing/new anymore even though there were more words. A good read for a while, but it gets tedious after a while and so I stopped. There are too many other books our there that are much better. A large part of better is the authors just wrote "the end" when they ran out of original ideas.
