This was hard to read, and I didn't really enjoy it, unfortunately.
It was written like a fable or a myth, but went for over 300 pages, with little character development, and a vague, unexplained plot.
Some of this will be part of the charm for other readers, I'm sure. But wow, it dragged on for me.
As a short story, it might have been great... as a novel, it was bad.
