A bit too long for the content. Would have loved to see this tightened up by 150 pages or so. Could have been accomplished in planning, and trimming some of the scenes in the middle of the book, or even post main plot resolution chapters.
Overall, a decent fantasy book that explores depression, PTSD, anxiety, and obsessive thoughts. Doesn't shy away from the hard discussions, but gets a bit lost in philosophical debates (reminds one of Starship Troopers when these scenes drag on a bit too long).
