DID NOT FINISH: 32%
Have to DNF for the sake of my sanity and to avoid a slump.

I could not tell you what happened for the last 100 or so pages. The world-building is confusing and none of the characters are really explained. Names are thrown about and I struggled to keep up. I was rooting for this but it’s a shame it didn’t live up to the hype.
