I'm finding the orthography quite painful. OK, by careful reading you can (mostly) work out what parts are direct speech, which parts internal monologue/day-dreaming, which parts are description.
But why should I? That's why it's standard to use quotation marks for direct speech, and usual to denote inner monologue by italics, or a different font.
Some of the words and phrases are fun. Some of the sentences are OK. The paragraphs drag a bit.
I'll read a bit more, but I'm not yet persuaded.
