Rating: 2/5 . If you are enjoying the new wave of dark surreal fiction, you'll really enjoy this. I recognize that I am burnt out from reading books of this tone/style and so maybe my feelings will improve in time, but right now this is where I'm at.

But on a more critical note, it was excellent and I devoured it in 24 hours.
It was abstract, the prose was beautiful without being too much of anything, and the magical realism was *chefs kiss.*
Part One and Part Three were strong; Part Two was a bit too much of a drug filled haze, but it did add to the story, it was just a bit slow.
Go read it, but check the trigger warnings!!!!
