2.0

the adept prose and interesting concepts can distract you from the fact that this book is largely a giant nothingburger. there are moments, saved for when we are well past the 80% where a page or two has an interesting idea, but fails apart either on the next page of nothingness, or on its immediate arrival, due to a complete lack of build up or any foundations.

the characters have no interiority, so it becomes rather bizarre by the end when the book stars pretending that it does. you can imagine how difficult this makes for pulling off a character driven plot line.

you can read this book, or don’t, either way you’ll receive absolutely nothing.

One of my favorite reads of the year - a dark fairy tale perfect for fall. The audiobook narrator was absolutely perfectly as well.
