Oh, I hope you enjoy it! It definitely is worth reading overall, I think—lots of very good character and relationship stuff, besides some really strikingly lovely descriptive passages and good historical detail.
I am a few chapters into The Yellow Poppy and already going crazy with the number of characters with double identities, hints that characters have secrets that I don't know yet, and so on! :D
Ohoho, good, isn't it :D Well, I won't spoil the upcoming twists, but there's definitely more good stuff to come there. I was kind of comparing those sorts of aspects between CNV and things like Broster's books, actually—I can enjoy it when there's an omniscient narrator giving details away strategically or showing things that don't give the whole story, but unreliability has limits.
