2/5 stars

I was expecting this to be interesting considering it was similar to other light novels I have read in the past. One of the biggest aspects that keeps me interested in the series is usually the characters. In this case, I liked very few of the characters that were presented to us. The stories could get confusing to follow at times, leaving me to reread certain sections multiple times. In some cases, I had to go back to another section in order to understand what I was reading. 

I got halfway through the book before deciding against finishing it. Overall, I would not personally recommend this book to anyone. If you're going to read it, expect to be confused while reading this book.
