Status Updates From The Whispering Dark

I'm having a slightly irrational feeling in which the book is moving along at a fairly decent clip and a lot of things are happening, but simultaneously at the same time the story is dragging and nothing is happening. I don't know what to do with that...

i have not read a book this frustrating in so long but i refuse to dnf it 😭

It had an engaging start but it's taking me a while to get through it. Not the book's fault -- I just have too much going on.
