DNF at page 200 because nothing seemed to be happening and I was so bored I couldn't be bothered picking it up again (sorry!). I struggled with the writing style and language in this book, the jarring switches between French and English, as well as the snail-like slow pace. I didn't feel any sense of tension or propulsion in the plot and there were so many elements to the world and the story that I wished had been more fleshed out and developed or that seemed illogical to me as a reader. While I generally felt like the characters and relationships were quite well done, so many aspects to the world building felt familiar and overused (as other reviewers have also commented on). I may still give this another go at some point, I do feel like it had potential and may have come together more towards the end, but for right now I had to give up on it.
