I feel like I spent the entire book wondering what was happening and why it was happening and still 20 pages away from finishing I still had no idea on what kind of message she was trying to convey. I felt like the book had some climaxes but even then I would say the book is quite a sleepy and simplistic one. If anything I enjoyed the relationship between the narrator, the old man, and R and their character development.

I wanted to like this a lot but it just didn’t work for me!!! Translated speculative fiction is usually my jam but idk this just missed the mark :/
