And honestly, I just spent the entire book confused. I still frankly have no idea what happened in this book and I couldn't summarize it if I tried.
I'll still continue the series. I loved book one enough for that. But this is without a doubt my biggest disappointment so far of 2021.

Okay but on a more serious note: this book is stylistically experimental, and the fact that it pulls it off most of the time is something that I do have to give it credit for. It would probably pull it off better if every other description wasn't a metaphor and if Muir had put down the thesaurus for half a second, but here we are.
I will say that I'm an outlier in that the things that other people love are the things that I really don't. I think the memes will make the book age like milk-- dad jokes are eternal, but people in 10 years might not know about miette, or none pizza with left beef. I'm also not a fan of the Gideon/Harrow relationship. Spoilers for Gideon the Ninth-
