I think I'll give it maybe one more chapter before I decided to DNF or not. It just feels like there so many characters introduced randomly just to be killed off the very next page? Like they serve so little point in the plot and it keeps switching POVs I am having trouble keeping up with who's talking. I feel like for me once an author starts to introduce more than like 5 characters that are not consistent importance to the story, I just get annoyed because WHY are they even in there? like they could have just been mentioned in a passing statement. So we'll see since its a library book, if I don't get the itchy scratchies to continue after the next chapter, I'll go turn it back in.

Oh Kuni.... This is really a books about morally gray characters, isn't it? I don't agree with what it's being done, but I get the logic behind it. Still, for the more 'nice" character to do it at the very end, idk, doesn't sit right with me. I do feel like this entire novel, if not for the fantasy touches, this could easily been the story of a real dynasty from the past.
