You really had to put in a lot of effort as a reader to get into the book. Still, I really like the writing style and I feel like the author had a lot of things to say which was good but also bad like sometimes it was too much and you would get lost in the story. 
I am ashamed to say that I was a bit underwhelmed w the ending like I was expecting something and the whole Q thing seemed unresolved. 
Still a very interesting book. Wouldn’t recommend tho.

What an interesting book! The construction was creative and the themes were so complex I already know I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. Each character was compelling and each “part” was so strong, especially in concert with one another. The audiobook performance was also quite good, so this was overall just a fabulous experience, highly recommend!
