3.5
when i first started reading this book i felt it was really not a good fit for me as a reader, and was struggling a lot to read it. however as it went on i feel like i started to understand the flow and direction of the book, and the prose is undeniably beautiful and well-written throughout. a lot of the themes of the book, especially toward the beginning, didn’t sit right with me, but the use of the ocean consistently as an exploration of outlooks on life is very interesting. the ending is absolutely chilling, and artfully leaves some things unspoken, after the graphic descriptions in other parts of the book. overall a very interesting, if mildly traumatising, read.
