A lot of what didn't work for me were the writing choices, this book did two things that I find exhausting which is over explaining concepts and a million POVs. And most of those POVs exist to overexplain the plot and what is going on with each piece as it moves. I just wish the author had more faith in her readers. This book is 500+ pages but feels like a prologue to the actual story. This isn't to say others won't like this book, it's got a lot going for it, particularly the rot and associated magic systems, and interesting characters (Bhumika!) But the structure was hard for me to get past
