One day I’ll finish this

The setup is intriguing and the plot is promising. I’m not loving the writing style: it’s a bit too “hit you over the head” with some things, like he obsessively needs to over-explain or justify every little thing. It makes the world building robust and compelling but also feels overdone. And the world-building through characters “touring” the cities is a bit cliche, sometimes borderline boring.
