Pretty cool book, like a lot of Jeff VanderMeers stuff, can be hard to follow at times, but I loved the plot, and thought he had a very interesting way of mixing area X into the MCs narrative.

2.5 stars. Really good beginning and end, but a very slow crawling middle that was tough to power through. Part of me just wants to watch the movie. Part of me wants to go on to the 2nd book. I never really read series so who knows. The 10 year edition cover is beyond beautiful. The writing is beautiful. I feel like it should be rated higher for me? But I just felt very meh for a lot of it.
