I enjoyed the main story, which is essentially what kept me reading. I did not enjoy the writing but appreciated the initiative of the author. It was a bold move to include so many points of view, but I ended up feeling distracted by this and felt it did not meaningfully contribute to the story, especially because we never spend much time with these additional characters. It is an interesting and a complex story but not necessarily an entertaining read.
