this book. This Book. THIS BOOK.
It zigged when I expected it to zag. It swerved between genres. It used metaphor and language in a way that shook me. I understand why the author repeatedly said she could barely talk about it without spoilers.
In terms of “vibes”, I think of the movie, Book of Eli, where the MC is hunted across a desolate Western-like landscape for the knowledge that only he, or in this case, Vega, possesses. There are clues that something sinister and vast is at work, but resolution doesn’t come until the VERY end.
But also… Vega, honey, just wear a bandanna around your neck or a high collared shirt or something!! Could have solved so many problems.
Content notes: violence, death, sickness/death from sickness, cults
