There were things I really liked. The characters were compelling, particularly Easton and Ms. Potter.
I would have loved to learn even more about Gallacia. I think the idea of a country with seven sets of pronouns, including one reserved for inanimate objects, one for priests and prepubescent children, one for soldiers and one exclusively for God is fascinating. And I love the detail about the slight hesitation before using what we would consider traditional pronouns for a child getting a spy caught. (It has no bearing on the story, it's just a detail about the history of the country). I really want a story set in Gallacia some day.
I also liked the doctor, August, and Hob, of course.
The illustration of the hare in the end papers was pretty cool, too.
Anyway, I don't think it's a book problem, I think it's a me problem.
