Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.
DNF @ 35%
I was enjoying this fine enough, not super invested but still, and then the entire story halts for the mc to go home and deal with family drama we didn't even know about before this. It just completely lost me. There didn't feel like there was buildup to this side story, we're just bouncing along the main plot and a letter comes out of nowhere. I couldn't get myself to pick it back up.
Things I did like about the book: the portal realm mechanics, the concept of having someone live in your shadow, the bird scholar lady, the general way fantastical elements were discussed scientifically rather than mystically
