in total I liked it.
In the beginning I was slightly confused, because of the different starting points, but I kept reading, to see where it leads to. Liked the character development, and the development of the different pairrings, bringing together, getting separeted, separting, finding themselves again...
Also really liked the setting, which seemed to me quite realistic (from the little research I did...), which I really liked, not really a fan of all those invented old ages
