I can barely explain what happened in this book, but I was entranced and continually compelled to come back for more. There are so many moving pieces, but many of them seem to remain in stasis until the end, when everything clicks together for a beautiful existential crescendo. I rarely find a book like this, certainly not in the sphere of Magic School Lit, and I suspect it'll be a long time before I find another.
