Got to love false tension that involves introducing characters I either can't remember or are actually new to avoid getting to the good part. All the more thesaurus-y as well. At its core, this book is great but there's too much of it and it's quite a mess.

Better exposition than I was expecting but still just exposition. The writing is lovely, but there's lots of it.

Let's go back in time and learn things we already knew about the characters for a third time. Love the writing, but I'm sure all this back-tracking could be cut down.
