Mk, I just read all 3 (commenting on this one because I didn’t know which duplicate sequel you would delete). Anyway, the story has some pretty intriguing fantasy elements so far; any long and storied familial quasi-cult group is sure to be rife with stories for the telling. At times, though, the style got a little cumbersome—namely, Part I is so full of abstracts (the personification of the moon, stars, etc.) that it got hard to tell which family was being referred to, and descriptions had a tendency to repeat themselves, or at least feel unnecessary in some places. Some areas strayed into purple prose—gushy description that, while interesting to read by words alone, as a whole melded together into a word cake with too much frosting. Tasty, but you don’t wanna take a spoon and go to town on fondant, you know? III actually did the best job of avoiding this, probably because of the dialogue. It was the most fluid read.
I realize I’m getting wordy, but I hope that was helpful. Thanks for posting!
