Beautifully written but painfully dull. I never got enough backstory for things to really make any sense which was made so much worse toward the end when

characters literally started merging or being "born anew" at the 80% mark

. The second I thought I was getting a firm grasp on what was going on, I was proven incorrect. Overall, a fine experience, but maybe not enjoyable.
