I never really know what an Enrigue novel is about, but I sure have a great time on his genre-bending, ahistorical, magical ride! Was delighted to see how this book connects to “You Dream of Empires” too.

I really, really enjoyed this book, and I can't even fully articulate why.
It was confusing, and it's definitely not for everyone. It jumps around a lot, both in time and location, and there's a whole lot of characters, some of them called by different names, so it's hard to keep everyone straight. And I admit that at first I had a hard time keeping focused on the book.
But about halfway through... I don't know, it just started to draw me in more and more. I still had a hard time keeping everyone straight, but once I stopped worrying about it, it seemed to get easier. The whole thing was a little surreal, but the language was lovely, and it was just a really enjoyable experience.

Although the subject is interesting and I would love to learn more about this part of the history, the execution, language and format of the book were not really engaging me.
