Very rich setting overall, with a strong balance of perspectives. At times the writing feels a bit eclectic in how it shifts between character voices and tones, though it’s never confusing.

The narration sometimes sits close to a character’s perspective, but cause it remains omniscient, the boundary between what the character understands and what the narrator is providing as broader context is a little fluid.
