tregina's review against another edition
4.0
Sometimes I need to remind myself not to rate authors against themselves, because while I prefer everything else I've read by Jeff Vandermeer, when I asked myself "What would you rate this if it had been written by somebody else?" it still rated very highly for me. It's all the creepy, strange and twisted things that I love, and doesn't flinch from the darkness. I didn't even mind the extensive parts in second person POV, which is saying a lot.
