This novel is amazing.
I like the language, the way the characters describe and interact with the world - the writing shows their evolution in a palpable and intriguing way. The whole format—the parallel storylines—is masterfully built.

Quite boring unfortunately. There are two plots, running in parallel, one in the past of one protagonist, and they're only connected in theme. That theme is coming to terms with being embodied in existence, with all the choice and lack thereof that comes with it. Principally not uninteresting, but the plot does not explore it in a very engaging way. Every story point can be expected a mile away.
Also not as evocative and rich in world building as the series' first instalment.
