Status Updates From The Chronicles of Chrestoma...

The characters and plot have developed into something pretty enjoyable. I'm not too focused on plot holes at this point, but I can kinda smell them. Overall, I really appreciate how it's made me consider the secrecy of children and Jones' imagery of adulthood. It's interesting to consider how this story affects the one before it too. The kids all just seem so aloof, haha. Makes sense, I suppose. They're just naive.

I wish the main character was less naive. It feels like he barely thinks about the world he inhabits. It's interesting how much he embodies a sort of combination of the two main characters of book 1, but I wish I liked him more. The adults are pretty uninteresting. I'm kind of waiting for something new to happen in the narrative at this point, but I really hope it gets better soon. Not sure I'll continue the series.
