I’ve made it to the 50%—somehow. The plot is intriguing enough to keep me going, but wow... the pacing is painfully slow and there’s a lot of repetition. We’re in classic FMC territory here: “I’m the best, but also deeply traumatized,” which could be compelling if her behavior didn’t feel so inconsistent. She swings between fragile and fierce with little transition, and it makes her hard to connect with.
