This was just an okay read for me. It was a long meandering journey and while I don't mind that necessarily, I do need it to have a point. There was a lot of world building (as it were) but all of the action basically happened in the last two sections. I wasn't truly investigated the entire time but engaged enough to keep reading so I don't know how that lands one way or another.

It was lyrical I'll give it that but that also got to be overkill very quickly because there were a lot of threads that were dangled and not everything really came to a conclusion. Which, if that was the case, good on it but this is not something that I would reread personally which may seem like an odd benchmark but I do think it's telling. This feeling had no bearing on the review mind you since again it was just 'okay' and that is what the two stars mean. I'm glad for everyone that found joy in this but it was not for me.
