I loved the characters, the setting, and the writing, but the plot didn’t quite land for me. Also,

Gwennec’s death was fully unnecessary imo.

Never knew what exactly the plot was until it happened but I was along for the ride. Somd things seem nonsensical to me. The ending was underwhelming. Beautiful writing style.
