The concept was really interesting, and I always wanted to read the next chapter. But I did feel like it lost me a bit in the last 50 pages, when it just got very weird. I figured that there was something weird going on, and I feel like having sat and thought about it for a while I think I understood what was going on. But it was just a bit jarring.

All in all: very good.

honestly it really took 220 pages to get going and it wasn’t until the last 15 pages that it really came together but it was worth the wait and patience.
