This book wants to be The Starless Sea so badly.
Reads like a first draft of a much better book. As is, most character development is skipped / unearned, a romance makes no sense, and tertiary character motivations change on a whim to suit the plot. Lore is poorly developed and unclear, despite the author clearly wanting us to be shocked and swayed by "reveals" later.
The only plot detail I liked was (spoilers)the fact that the mother didn't show up to magically save the day.
