Indigo Starcroft’s Reviews > The Covenant of Water > Status Update

I want to enjoy this book, but ultimately I keep finding myself frustrated. At what I'm not sure. It will be in odd beats, like when a train starts to move and the carts sway before gaining momentum, only for that momentum to be abruptly stopped. This is with plot and character progression. I should trust the process but it has become a chore.
I try to move through it in chapters. I have now hit chapter 40/86.
