-"This is actually a decent use of first person narration. I'm okay with this"

-"Nevermind, the first person narration makes me feel like I'm reading a 15-year-old's self-insert fanfic, I am not okay with this"

I think it might be compounded by the fact Iskandar is a very special lil guy with a magic pet wolf. Like the combination of all these qualities makes it feel like he's about to say some "I blinked my mismatched orbs--one silver eye, one violet eye--and tossed my waist length Baja Blast colored hair over one shoulder before doing 20 consecutive backflips. I wish my boobs weren't so big, then I could do 50" shit.

EDIT: oh apparently this is a common complaint, not just with Iskandar but with ADB protagonists in general. Chronic main character syndrome. I didn't really notice it with Talos in the NL books as I was reading them, but in hindsight: yeah, our boy is a Primarchs favorite, has magical powers, a special sword, drops ~cool badass one-liners~ while killing people, etc.
