Ok so. I forced myself to read 210 pages out of the ~700. I think it's one of those books that people in the past said that it was good, and now everyone else (almost) have to say it's good so they don't fall out of the bubble.

Basically, the setting seems interesting. It starts a bit confusing but it's ok because you just started the book. Then you go into a “short story” about some priest. 120 pages of short story. Only about 10 are interesting.

Finally the story ends. Things get a bit interesting again ... and then a new guy comes to tell his story. Yet again I get random details that don't matter, yet again I get new characters to remember, new locations... this is the moment I said “nope”.

I will just read a plot summary and be done with it.
