I think I’m so disappointed with this book because the bones of something incredible are there, but it was ultimately a letdown. The prose is lovely, the world-building was impressive, and the (incomplete) glimpses we get of the characters are wonderful, but the book as a whole was disjointed and unsatisfying. If the potential of the book wasn’t so good I probably would’ve dnf’d it, and I’m not sure I’m better off for finishing it.
