DNFed around 100 pages in.
I've heard the book/series gets better but I just don't have the patience when the first 100 pages of this reads like half-written scenes meshed together to make a story. It's so difficult to make sense of what's going on besides the bare basic plot line, and there are clear details missing from the book (such as the little girl suddenly ageing up by 5 years with no indication that time had passed at all). Tried it for 100 pages (just under a third of the book) but not for me.

Consider giving the book a second chance a decade from now. Like you, I couldn't finish the book the first time I read it. I had no idea what was going on because the story was so different from what I'd been expecting. But I tried it again ten years later, and I thought it was excellent. 🤓
