challenging informative reflective tense medium-paced

3.0

This book starts out interesting. I loved the writing and descriptions and the various points of view. However, eventually, it feels like even though there's technically some progression happening, the chapters feel like the same thing over and over again, which, to me, was boring. Perhaps I would have had an easier time keeping interest if there had been a few fewer narrators.
