Read about 25% and found I did not have the patience to continue. Such a long, fussy set up to each tale before the plot started to move, and then very little payoff... like a dog turning in circles before it finally lays down.

There have been times in my life when I've loved this sort of style and pace, but obvious that's not now for me. Best of luck to you.
