I struggled to understand what this novel was trying to tell me. There was a lot of nice prose hidden in chunks of text that just left me confused more than anything.

I don’t understand this book.
I gave up on it halfway a few years ago and decided to try again. The blurb tells you essentially exactly what happens in the story, but I don’t feel like I gained much extra from actually reading the whole book, except some beautiful poetic descriptions of a hot world, getting hotter and more desperate.
It’s pretty weird.
