I'm surprised that there are so many complimentary comments, because I didn't like this novel at all. In my opinion, the story looks chaotic, primarily because the actions of the characters are inexplicable.

Perhaps the only drawback of the author is a certain penchant for graphomania. That is, a distraction to something more insignificant in the narrative, and sometimes for a long time. And this feature is present in almost all characters. Thinking about something, they constantly deviate to the side. However, as the story progresses, this feature becomes less pronounced, or the author managed to suppress it, or I myself gradually came to terms with it. In general, everything is very unusual and interesting. Keep writing!
