4.0

The mystery, worldbuilding, and conceit carry the book to great heights of technical accomplishment. You never figure anything out until a moment before the characters do, but it always makes sense when you get there. The characters themselves are deeply strange, but they're supposed to be.

Dialogue is rather strangely arranged, with paragraph breaks in all the wrong places. Stylistically, this works to make the act of reading a sort of constant time travel itself. You're forever tracking back and forth to figure out who's talking. While it works on a meta level, the affectation does make reading kind of a weird mechanical experience.
