4.5

Transcendent and beautiful and magical in all ways!!!! Not what I expected but better by far, this book defies genre and also a lot of conventional book stuff??? Some of the most major plot points happen during time skips, the pacing is somewhat inconsistent and strange, and the narration doesn’t match the characters’ voices but isn’t omnipresent either. And yet?? And yet??? It’s a chaotic masterpiece. I’ve generally avoided end of the world books and I didn’t know this was one tbh but I’m glad because I wouldn’t have read it and I would have missed out so much.
