Although the premise was interesting and I wanted to learn and read more, it was super complex there were too many characters and the story just kept on dragging and dragging. Since I picked this book up from a library I had to decide if I really wanted to continue on or get books that I'm a lot more excited about and I decided to get a new book. I might continue this someday but right now I'm not in the right headspace to read so much triggering stuff and it's such a long and challenging book. Overall probably wouldn't recommend it.
