Worldbuilding DifficultyLabyrinth

This is one of those books I really wanted to enjoy. The concept is fascinating and Martha Wells is a skilled author, but the non-linear structure and dense worldbuilding made it difficult to stay oriented. I found myself checking out before getting to the payoff.
