Got 30% in and was still not invested in the story. I could not, for the life of me, like the writing style - I absolutely hate it.

I was so excited about the lesbian pirates and bandits, but I can't read more.

Update: I decided to try again and came to about 50%, still dislike it. Definitely a DNF.

I've decided to give a more thorough explanation as well.

The prose is great - but sometimes it gets so dense that I lose track of the plot. It was also very difficult to read, as a non-native English speaker, because of this.

The time skips was confusing, and the big cast that were all dumped on the reader at once was even more confusing. The lack of action, while being filled with action, was also confusing. I know I read about

a train being robbed twice and a massacre

, but I did not 'feel' any action or rush of adrenaline while reading it. I think the prose ruined it for me.

Definitely a miss for me, and I think this is a book that you will love or hate - no inbetween.
