The concept for this is very unique. Very environmental. Very whole. The idea that cities are represented by these “avatars” or “people” breeds a whole new meaning onto how we view land and space.
However, I wish the story let its ideas breathe more. There’s a lot of commentary, which I don’t mind. I don’t even mind on some level if books direct you where they want the reader to go in their mind. I admire when a writer doesn’t shy away from telling what what they’re trying to say. That is unless is becomes a bit overbearing. The equivalent of your teacher or boss hovering over you as you’re trying to get your work done.
I do understand the point in doing this to some extent with a story like thus. You don’t want readers to gather the wrong message, but you gotta give the reader some credit, I feel. You can be in the room, but you don’t have to breathe down our necks as we work, you get me (metaphorically)?
Again there really is a lot of potential here. I love the fresh, unique, Lovecraft homage this is, I just wish we were given more space to let the story be the unique piece of work that it is, instead of it being buried under commentary. Because the story works. I just wish it would let itself.

It was to confusing. I listened to The audiobook and I was two hours in and still didn’t know what was going on and who the characters were.
