Not sure whether the segments with Faro were difficult to follow because of its economy of words or because the setting was too much out there. It read like a prologue to something bigger, something I definitely would want to read more of.

audiobook version brought a different side of it - rereading a fourth time for this translation project, still doesn't make too much sense, the purpose of it.

I expected to enjoy this alot more then I did. The story had some really cool elements but ultimately had too little information for me to enjoy what was happening.
