I gave this 8 hours (out of 37) and I couldn't take it anymore. The thought of reading 2 more long books after this one, at this pace was just too much. Just hours and hours of boring character background. It reminded me of Station Eleven, like there's this really cool stuff happening, but I'm instead going to talk about some lame normal stuff that happened before the cool stuff. I feel like things were eventually going to get exciting, but then I was traumatized thinking the author might introduce a new character occasionally and then I'd be subjected to 6 chapters of background on that character. No thanks.
