Encapsulation of this book is the part where a somewhat interesting interaction takes place and then in the literal start of the next scene the MC asks “What happened?” - like those are the first two words of the scene - and then the travel party talks about it for a whole page

It truly is a frustrating read because I love many of the smaller ideas in the book but the unfortunate lack of characters is making it a bit difficult. The godmother is an interesting addition in this section but we still have too little from Marra which is a shame because we did spend 40 pages at the beginning on her backstory

The world grows more interesting as you spend more time in it and I understand the high ratings. That said, the prose continues to frustrate. Some will call it economical, but it’s really just rushed - when action is happening, there’s a staccato to it, and in descriptions there’s always both a bit less than I want and a few more ideas than I can handle. I think I’d generally prefer longer sentences
