This has taken me like half a year to finish, and I have had to resort to the audiobook because I was having severe trouble making more than one to two pages of progress per sitting. In the early book, I mainly struggled with the 2nd-person POV (and to its credit, it doesn't stay in that POV), but for the rest of the book, I found the "somehows" and the inevitable "change" events too distracting. Plotwise, it's unique and structured out in a way that creates this building rumble, this vacuum of mystery, inter-connectedness, pain, and tragedy to really pull you in. I can see how it's well-done, but I was just not very intrigued or captured by any of the world, nor the characters. I'd still recommend it because it does have its special merits, but I won't be continuing the series.
