At this point I'm reading out of spite. I refuse to not mark a book as "read" after spending hours reading it. I plan to finish it but this book is going to be between 1.75-2.5. It's only more than a 1 star because around the 55% mark it started to get a little interesting.

Improving, though I feel like I'm still bouncing off of it. The world is incredibly deep, perhaps too deep, but I'm stuck behind a glass viewport looking in. Scenes swim by here and there, offering a glimpse at something I should be privy to, something that exists and is commonplace in the world, without enough time to fully settle in and appreciate it.

Not off to a great start. I appreciate a complex and well-developed setting, but I feel lost and unable to sink into any given situation. Hard to tell if the discomfort in my head is from trying to focus when my brain doesn't want to or if the book is the problem.
