I really enjoyed some of the particular story events, but it felt like the author had some particular ideas and wasn’t sure how to bridge them together. It felt like it was one interesting story event, some circular dialogue and internal monologues, then another interesting plot point. 

The descriptions and set pieces were wonderful, and overall I liked the two main characters. The antagonist felt hollow (maybe that was the point?). The story was quite predictable, as well.
