equal rites by terry pratchett

 It starts well, and I will say it is observant, but by the second half becomes a drag, spending way too long on uninteresting things and not having a tight plot. It's barely a novel about a magic "system" and not at all about wizard school or coming-of-age. Plus, the "British humour" style of writing does get monotonous.

the tyrant baru cormorant by seth dickinson

 Not really satisfying. The optimistic tone doesn't, in my opinion, serve the themes well, and it used an almost juvenile humor way too ...
