Heimdal, California by John Erik Riley
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

Too long, too many irrelevant footnotes. A lot of editing could have been done. ‘Letters from Cordelia’ sections were unnecessary long, could have kept it to one. Also very obvious she’s written by a man. Enjoyed the first 150 pages or so, then became very boring and kind winded
