The problem with not clearly sticking to a narrator is that I'm on Book 2 and I can't trust that it's not just Phillip inventing shit

narc alert

Kind of annoyed at how short everything is. The chapters, the sentences. I like Rosemary.

ok ok I'm not immersed. i just think that it's so dumb. i gotta take a break and come back to it when I'm feeling less combative.

Oh. He's edgy edgy. Got it. I'm preparing myself.

"...thought Gideon, and caught himself with a surprised grimace. One would think it was his affair."
Same, Gideon. Same.
