did not finish...

look, I know it came with a warning about being convoluted and fantastical. but while the world was indeed interesting, the alternating POVs frustrated me. the main trio was cool, everyone else not so much. plus, I thought it was going to be long-winded for reasons of worldbuilding, but there was a tad too much repetition for that to be understood as the case. maybe I'll return to this when I have more motivation for a slower pace, but currently I simply do not.
