Vellum by Hal Duncan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.

I really wanted to like this book. The premise was so interesting to me. The reason I couldn't get into is because it constantly changes perspective, different characters, different timelines, different worlds, different versions of the same character (I think?), some mythology that I assume is somehow related. And the change happened every few PARAGRAPHS. I can handle chapters jumping around, but literally every few paragraphs. I lost track of who the characters were because you never stayed with them more than 3 paragraphs and there were so many of them. I don't even know who the main character is. It's tantalizing, like I feel like there could be something here, but it is such a chore to read. I'm struggling to stay engaged. It's like sitting down to read and constantly being interrupted by someone. I can never actually get absorbed in the story.
