This is the longest 214 page book I have ever read. Repetitive. Boring. Derivative. Why Why WHY did my book club have to pick this?

I can't tell if it's an issue with the translation in some parts or if I'm just being overly critical, but god, this reads like the subtitles to a D list anime and I cannot deal.

I really want this to be more fast paced than it is.

The writing overall is quite lyrical and pleasant but I'm about 40 pages in and the author has used "firmament" and "zenith" like three times each. Girl. Let's widen that vocabulary.

Really enjoying the writing style so far, but I just realized that this is the same author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth which was the worst I've read in recent memory. So that's tainting my experience a little. Still hopeful for the outcome, though.

Needed something to cleanse my palate after Maeve Fly. Still spooky vibes but much more tame
