I'm so confused about the target audience for this book, because the writing style so far seems aimed at young readers, while the language and themes are not at all for children. It's incongruous and I'm not enjoying the book in any way yet. I hope it turns around.

This is just starting to become interesting, finally.
However, I still dislike the writing. I remember that from other books by this author, but I think for different reasons. This narrative just has awkward, clunky parts, with dialogue that seems like different conversations taking place adjacent to each other. There are sections of paragraphs with no cohesion or flow.
Still, at least it's not such a chore anymore.
