Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett
2.0

Though it's clear what the Large Goals of characters are (Becoming normal, Justice & Order, Finding knowledge, etc), the Small Goals are lacking. Many times I asked myself, "Why are the characters doing this?" and I couldn't figure it out. The mini-quests they do are often frustratingly divorced from their Large Goals, or sufficient motivation to do them. It feels like they're doing it because That's What The Plot Is.
