I think it's me, but I just couldn't get into this story. I found it hard to follow the jumping around, and I wasn't invested enough in the characters. I'm bummed - it's such a cool idea. Maybe I will have better luck if I revisit later.

Immediately drew me in, very rich world building. Reminded me a lot of American Gods. Noma is a #girlboss
