So far this is long, plodding, badly paced and with cartoonish characters who spout clunky dialogue, and some risible, poorly thought-out world-building (A PURRING? Also, sentient robots are called 'Stupefactions.' Good to know.) It doesn't help the heroine Eliste is relentlessly unappealing, and so self-absorbed she verges on clinical narcissism. I hope this gets better, or this will be A SLOW TRAIN RIDE INTO HELL.
