Beware, she's a slllooowww burn folks. Requires massive patience and attention, but the way Davis manges to create a staggeringly vast and yet detailed world is incredible to experience. Like Ophelia, you are thrown into this world with no warning or pretext, lost to the alliances and dangers with no life vest. The "weakness" of the main character is frustrating at times, but to see her begin to find her voice and her determination to see her own way in life is wholly satisfying.
