This book was very long and meandering - quite like a hike through a forest - and not for me. The elements of fantasy felt disappointingly understated, and my brain could not latch on to a purpose for any scene. Had this been shorter, more obviously dual perspective, and pushed some fantasy to the forefront, I think I may have at least liked it. But as it stands, the length and pace overshadowed everything else.
