very tedious to get through, the almost 100 page chapters were not fun. the interchapters were fascinating and poignant, and the whole story really comes to life off the page. beautiful writing, although descriptions of the land got quite boring after 500 pages. interesting metaphors and commentary, i enjoyed this a lot more than i thought i would.
