Wait a minute...
Is this the series with the heroic murder of peaceful protestors for JUSTICE or am I mixing it up with some other terrible fantasy?

Payndz posted:

The hero's surname is really Cypher? As in, according to the dictionary, "a person or thing of no importance, esp. a person who does the bidding of others and seems to have no will of their own"?

It might be cipher in the sense of "cipher for the audience", like a character who translates the world for the audience/is an audience insert. Which is still pretty lame and clashes a little with the setting. I'd expect someone named Dick Cypher to be hacking mainframes with Hiro Protagonist, not picking herbs with Elana Shadowild of Elvenwood.

Outside of the eye-rollingly "Wake Up Sheeple" nonsense that Shota went on about, she does bring up that wizard magic is unfathomable to her. Does this ever go anywhere? With witch/"nature" magic opposing wizard/"arbitrary bullshit" magic. Vague environmentalism would be better than any of the other themes, at least.
