After a dozen chapters, I feel like giving the time and place before each isn't doing the story any favors. Broadcasting that a chapter is a flashback, or continuing a scene that concluded satisfactorily in the previous chapter, almost makes it feel skippable, though they're always interesting once I get going.
Loving the descriptions of food in Xiala's current chapters. :)

It took me quite a while to warm to this one, but now I'm gobbling through the last few chapters and feeling sorry it will be ending soon....

80% of the way into the book is not the place for Yet Another Flashback.
That's just a minor grumble. I've been enjoying this a lot and am looking forward to the upcoming confrontaation that's been broadcast since quite early on.

All the major characters feel like they're about the same age, though they definitely aren't. Not a huge problem, just need to adjust for a 30-something acting like they're about 20...

Abah's maneuvers against Naranpa are a lot like those of mean girls in shoujo manga, giving their conflict a less-than-adult feeling. What's next? Abah putting tacks in Naranpa's indoor shoes? writing nasty messages on her desk?

Naranpa seems like an inept, weak leader as Abah walks all over her in front of their subordinates. Don't just sit there and take it, girl! Get some digs in yourself, since it's gone this far....

Character introductions and tour of the setting. :) What's come after the first chapter hasn't been anywhere near as intense, so it's hard to say what this will be like in the long term.
