I really liked this book, but the disjointed storylines was hard to get into, especially because I often felt disconnected from the characters--like I didn't understand their motivations.

This book was confusing, and I felt dumb for not being able to follow it. I really got into the book initially, I liked the characters, liked where it was going. But then characters kept disappearing and time kept jumping and I didn’t know where I was! With all that I still enjoyed the story even when I had no idea what was going on.

I found it quite confusing to follow and I think I missed some connections between characters and events. I enjoyed the parts from non human narrators.

Enjoyed the strong sense of place but I would have liked to have revisited some of the characters from early on in the story - I assumed that characters would keep returning as storylines intertwined, but many disappeared early on and then never came up again.
