ehhh for me personally, i found the time jumps in the beginning really confusing and the prose in the beginning hard to follow. it only really got going for me in the middle and even then it all felt too rushed with the sheer amount of Things that were happening. like we do not particularly explore these characters enough for me to care about them as deeply as i could have
