Reading progress update: I've read 82 out of 404 pages.

Got through some more of this. Liking it really. It's pretty good. It's High Fantasy, for those who are curious, and it some seem to have a diverse cast of characters. There does seem to be great/extensive world building, which like most world building can take a minute to wrap your head around, but I like it. Without wanting to spoil anything, things to seem like they are about to get good. I'm excited.
