Picked this up for free and I'm rather sorry I did. A fair amount of work seems to have gone into it, but I couldn't even tell you precisely what it wants to be, and the writing style and the approach, not to mention the rushed ending pulled out of a hat, certainly ruin any potential the topic might have had.
The little action is no more than an excuse for convoluted descriptions and confusing references which may perhaps have some appeal for those with a particularly keen interest in the time and place the story is set in, but will probably be largely ignored by most others. Add the fact that everything takes the form of paragraphs that can stretch for a page or more, containing entire dialogs, multiple confusing descriptions and rushed mentions of entire lists of complicated names, as well as events and myths likely to be unfamiliar to most readers, and you end up with something that's quite a pain to read.
