My rating feels mean given the quality of the book, but I spent 60% just sort of wishing it would be over. The characters in the book were wonderfully formed, intricate, real. The setting was clearly so well researched and constructed. And, the writing! So beautiful! And yet! I was so sick of it by the end. Still a very cool story told in a full and interesting way.
