Yall, am I slow or something? We’re 40 chapters deep and not a single thing that’s integral to the plot has been addressed. We don’t know if our MC is a reliable narrator, there’s no explanation for Merran’s bad behavior, we don’t truly know the nature of the relationship between the MC and her sister, and these are just examples among several other things.

Like, maybe I’m just being impatient, but I just don’t understand how we can be 40 chapters into a story and not even having gotten to the focal point of the story, which is the reversal of time. I understand world building and establishing relationships between characters is important, but this seems a little excessive in my opinion.
