Confusing and Poorly-Written

To be entirely honest, I have no idea what I just read. I would say the concept is good and it was just executed poorly, but I’m not sure what the concept was. Characters were introduced randomly, often with little to no actual introduction, and they showed up without rhyme or reason. I couldn’t really follow the plot because of that, and the way that is was written also confused me. There were very few commas, and the author repeated things a lot (but in a way that makes it seem like they had forgotten that they had just said it). I honestly think I would have liked the book if it were less confusing, though. Saya’s chapters were much more enjoyable for me to read than Indir’s, and I think it’s because there were a lot less characters and plot points. The whole book is basically 376 pages of worldbuilding word-vomit, which just… no. If there were less things to introduce, or if it (the tribes, characters, plot, Dreams, etc) were all introduced slower, I maybe would have been able to understand. I think if I read this book a few more times I might like it more, but I unfortunately don’t know if I’d be able to bring myself to do that.
