I think the weirdness here stems from so little time passing in the present (mere hours) versus the long time passing in the past… all leading up to where we are at in beginning of the book but it just feels awkward in its pacing for me.
That said I loved the Chella ‘battle’ and necromancy use so far.

This one is not reading as quickly… and I’m not sure why. Maybe the back and forth past to present format…

Slow going…. But I’ve been insanely busy so I’m hoping as things calm down for me I can crack this off.

Again I'm struggling to find time to dedicate to just devouring this. A real issue these days... it's not fair to the story or author when that happens but life does have a way of being annoying.
Still really enjoying this!

I love when the so called ‘primitive’ or monster of the world is the one with better understanding than others.
Gorgoth’s ‘dena’ and ‘coils’ that make up a person sure sounds like DNA to me! :)
