This is interesting, but it had way too many characters for me to keep track of, and I didn't feel like I "knew" any of them, even after 17 hours of audiobook. I also may have not been a huge fan of the writing style.

It took me a really long time to finish this book. I think that the plot was pretty good, but not quite my style. On the other hand, the writing itself was absolutely beautiful. There were so many moments where I just had to highlight entire paragraphs for fear of losing such amazing writing. It was almost lyrical or melodic in the way that it just grabbed and immersed you into such vivid descriptions. This is easily the best written book I've seen in a while, hence the many many tabs and highlights that are in my copy. I would recommend this book to a lot of people, but mostly those who are looking for a book that will sweep them off of their feet with the flow of words on the paper.

This book is absolutely bonkers! It was intriguing and absorbing and I can only be in awe at how difficult it must have been to write. Would strongly recommend for a long haul flight as I would have loved to have consumed it in one sitting. The endless twists and turns did get confusing at times and I wouldn't class it as an 'easy' read as you needed to remember exactly who was who. I tried to just settle in to the madness and roll along for the ride! Would definitely recommend, very innovative.
