Sehr düster, sehr verwickelt, man weiß nicht so richtig, wo es langgeht, die Charaktere haben alle einen Schuss und das Ende hat mich verwirrt, dann überrascht und schließlich irgendwie befriedigt zurückgelassen, da es relativ offen gehalten wird und dadurch gut ist. Die Menschen sind vielschichtig und nachvollziehbar und der Stil ist teilweise experimentell. Man hat es schnell gelesen, aber man denkt schon noch eine Weile darüber nach. Alles in allem ein wirklich empfehlenswertes Buch.

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!
