An interesting premise offering multiple points of view - including quirky bits with astute farm animals a la Charlotte’s Web. The pacing is good overall though some parts seem startlingly abrupt while others feel unnecessarily detailed. The characters felt thin & predictable despite some hints at backstory that would have been enriching & more satisfying if deepened. The tone was uneven, switching from dark & disturbing to wistful and even whimsical at times, which unfortunately shook me out of the story.  I appreciated the imaginative plot and the elaborate scope but there was ultimately a lot more telling than showing in many places.
