I... honestly have no idea what my impression of this book even is. On one hand, it was a reasonably quick and mostly enjoyable read for me, mostly because there wasn't a single character who wasn't interesting to follow. On the other hand, there was just too much going on, which paradoxically led to a distinct feeling of "not enough." With the story constantly jumping between viewpoints, and big events, and various aspects of the setting, every individual storyline remained underexplored. Things kind of got tied together, somewhat, toward the end, but it still felt a lot like I was reading a bunch of different books at once.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was beautifully written, and I enjoyed the characters and worldbuilding. The ending felt a bit rushed, but I liked the journey overall.
