I may not be able to finish this. The academic is ridiculously haughty, with very high brow word choices, yet is somehow dumb as rocks. There is no tension. The characters are cardboard cutouts. Mossa's POV was catching in the first chapter, but after that her interactions with others are wooden without the inner richness she had in the first chapter, because it's been Pleiti's uptight POV since.

I'm struggling with this. Perhaps it's the narrator accent, but the academic character uses such prim and incredibly haughty language that she comes across with a very superior additude. It's off-putting and makes me hate her, and I'm an academic myself. The world is very cool and engaging, but the mystery is slogging. I appreciate Mossa's POV much more, but there is just no tension between the MCs.
