I found most of the flashbacks to Devon's youth tough to get through, and then the pace finally picked up just in time for the book to end. The uneven characterization of Devon and Cai is balanced with some poignant prose, especially when Dean writes about the fierce, unconditional love between a mother and child. I just wish there was more about book eating in The Book Eaters.

Incredible, flawed, queer anti protagonist & her “monster” child who I could not help but adore.
