Incredibly convoluted, long, unnecessarily descriptive, separate story lines that don't get threaded well between chapters, nor kept me interested. Can't find any one main topic to define the reason for this story line to exist. I've never taken this long to read a book, had to force myself to pick it back up hoping I'd find something good in it. I did not.
