This is absolutely a unique book where each chapter focuses a different type of beast (impasse, joyous, etc) and tells us all about them. There is also a main plot line running throughout that ties them all together. I loved how unique this was, I’ve never read anything like it. I loved the physical descriptions of each type of beast as well as learning about their nature.
As to the main story, I did find it confusing in some places and a little hard to follow. I think I got there in the end, but I think it could have been written a little clearer in some places.
I would definitely read more by this author.

did some people here read the book with their ass? or something?
stunning characterizing and storytelling skills, a book that needs to be savored and digested slowly.

…I think I sort of liked this? But also, could I explain the plot to you? No.

A story that -- I'm loathe to say it -- really would be better on the screen. I wanted to love this book, if only purely for the concept, but the characters, including the narrator, felt flat and the pacing and plot unfulfilling. These elements maybe could have been less of a sacrifice if the author had cut or combined some of the "types" of beasts, the wide variety of which doesn't necessarily add to the story.
