Status Updates From Leven na leven

Ok, cool, whtv. It’s fine.

Yet, this is somehow worse because my expectations were raised and all I want to do is go back to Ursula’s childhood and have her relationships developed instead of spending so long on who Sylvie is and her viewpoint. ‘Worldbuilding’? I guess so, but I don’t know enough about our protagonist despite seeing near all her childhood and I’m so annoyed (at the moment) (this might change)

I’m mildly irritated and my brief “wow I really like this book I’m looking forward to the rest” has turned to “ugh I’m back at the start, learning irrelevant stuff that will only become relevant to me later on, but in a very tedious and repetitive way.”

Who the fuck is Jimmy, first of all. Secondly, as said before, I currently don’t care enough about Millie for the update on her life, job and marriage to be relevant. I don’t know anything about her personality or relationship to Ursula. She’s just one of the five daughters next door!
