I really do like this book and I'm engaged in the story but my brain is too fogged from illness to read it most days. I might give up on it soon. I don't know at this point. I don't know if I can get through a book that is this long, this complicated, and requires that I keep meticulous notes just to keep up with the author.

I knew there would be a lot of characters so I started with a document on my phone where I would write everyone's name and details as I read. I think doing that helps me keep up with everyone. I have a lot of names already but haven't yet needed to look one up. I've also been googling the astrology chapter titles. I get it but is there a point to the astrology at some point? Don't answer that. Spoilers.
