I enjoyed most of this book. I found it a little long and lost interest a bit in the first and second chapter of part three, but I loved the end.

Interesting setting, seems thoroughly researched. A little slow and dry at times, but parts were engrossing.

This was so slow and so boring by the end. Too many perspectives, it felt like it went on for ages, and despite lots of things how does it feel like NOTHING happened?? I didn't even like any of the characters that much because it felt like they weren't really developed in any meaningful way?? Idk maybe I've missed a huge gaping hole in the book but what a bore

I've been reading this book for book club and realized that it's too similar to Vaster wilds which I read this year and I'm just not interested in where the story is going enough to want to slog through the rest of the pages.
