Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.

I loved the author’s previous book (Dreadful), but this one just did not land for me. The protagonist is a ball of anxiety, and instead of being proactive about it, she mostly sits around waiting for other characters to act. The setting is ill-defined and I had trouble keeping track of a bunch of very similar side characters. The slow rollout of world-building works against a book like this when there are so many others that do it much better. I wish the author well but honestly, I don’t know if I’d read another from her given how many fundamental issues this novel had in the first hundred pages… a real shame since Dreadful was so good!
