I’m waiting patiently for Vin to become any kind of character and not just a vector for worldbuilding. Seriously, she feels entirely auxiliary to anything and I’m almost 100 pages in.

Starting to get the sinking feeling this book is going to fail the Bechdel test. Thus far the only other female character was brought in for 4 pages in order to give Vin a haircut. No beuno

Hate to say that I’m really not a fan of the dialogue in this book thus far

A few thoughts thus far:
1. We’re doing a LOT of “tell, don’t show”
2. Exposition dialogue fairly clunky: lots of supposedly familiar characters using formal names and rehashing motives and pasts for the reader’s benefit
3. If I read the word “betray” one more time I’m gonna lose my shit
