That was so confusing, but also there was the promise of depth and further explanation at the end of the tale that kept me going. Maybe because I was listening to it in audiobook, I wasn't confused by the style of alternating chapters told by two different narrators while a third butt in every other line with footnote observations at all. In fact, it kind of made the whole experience all the more enjoyable. But I am none the wiser, I have no idea what happened in this book at all, except there's a lot of magic and some rich, elite families and more prophecies than you could count.
