DNF @ 23% - I just can't take it anymore

I have been soo excited to read this book and now I am deeply disappointed. I didn't like the book from the beginning and it didn't get better either.

I had serious difficulties with the writing style. I am reading a lot of English books of different genres, so I would say my reading comprehension is pretty good, and never it was as frustrating as with this book. It felt like I am reading my first English book. There were so many words I didn't understand but those words you don't find in a dictionary either. It was special vocabulary the author was using to "describe" the world. Hey Mr. Brown, you know what...you also have to explain those things and now throw around smart-sounding words.

I never arrived in the world the autor wanted to create, the world-building is very weak and the characters aren't very likable either. The progress is very jumpy and I felt like nothing was explained.

I really wanted to like this book but it's boring as hell and I just want to read something else.
