The novel seems that the author doesn't know how to control the flow of the narrative and flow of time, sometimes it takes like 10 chapters to narrate the novel from "yesterday to today" with meaningless stuff only. You must skip the filling that the author does, it should be from 15% to 20% of the novel talking about barking dogs, clucking chickens, fondling pets, how the demi-human were waving their tails, eating snacks, drinking tea and ale, washing dishes.
