Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.
DNF @ 32%
The characters are bland. I couldn't care less about them. They were caricatures of people no matter how much exposition and back story the writer tries to implement. The writing is admirable at times but overall it sways from hard facts to rhythmic prose, it is inconsistent.
But, the last straw was the miscommunication trope, every single conflict in this book is boiled down to miscommunication. I can't bear another page of just avoidance and assumptions. Just stop.
