This book was really intriguing and full of things to unpack that I don't think you can do in one reading!

I loved the first half of this book. Mysterious, weird and so engaging. I thought it would be an easy 5 stars. But then questions start getting answers and I felt some of the allure drop away.  I usually hate when things are left unanswered (e.g. I who have never known man) but maybe this book is showing me otherwise. Anyway I devoured this book and have never read anything like it. Still undoubtedly a great book. Might have to think on this one a bit more. Fans of severance (tv show) should read this.
