Reading progress update: I've read 145 out of 480 pages.

I love how even with so many POVs each character has such distinct voices, they're so easy to keep track of, never blurring within each other or becoming muddled.
I have read authors who couldn't pull this off with only 2 POVs let alone with 6? - though the one at the beginning did feel a little redundant, but i suppose it was a good way to introduce us to the world and the issues our characters will be facing. Actually thinking about it, I wouldn't mind the second book opening the same way, be an interesting quirk the author could use as their opening paragraph.
