Protip: awkward manufactured moment in the dialog? Interrupt by having a loud sound pierce the calm or shatter the morning or somesuch. No need to think the conversation through!

3/4 through the book, and Rin is just getting worse. She has now become an eternal victim. Constantly angry and arguing, but never actually doing nothing, just righteous indignant outrage over everything, minor or major.

Feels weak in many places especially characters. Suddenly nezha and her form the perfect fighting pair with a hand wave.
Altan is stoic and aloof suddenly he's chummy and talkative. No consistency.
Everyone is impossibly beautiful.
