Parts of this work were totally captivating- creative and beautifully written, but the story arc ultimately left me confused and wondering what actually happened. Maybe the streaming version will be easier to follow.

I did not want to read about the birth. I did find it very interesting the complexity of the gender aspects though.

Absolutely loved the first half! Loved the discussion of gender and race throughout the book. But it really fell apart for me in the second half. :(
This is maybe one of the weirdest books I've ever read, and not in a good way the entire time. I'm giving this 3.5 stars, but rounding down, because I think people should be more aware of how this story ended up working before deciding to dive in.
SORROWLAND is another book with a promising premise in that it's unique, interesting, and makes you think you're picking up one book when in fact, it's another personal journey book more dependent on character building that plot events. The author does that well, it's just another bait and switch for me this year. When the plot was focused on (and like, weird culty racism is really engaging story idea, so I was very hopeful for this), it didn't always make sense and was kind of hard to follow. There is also a very odd undead group sex scene that I was not prepared for, tossed in for extra flavor.
Overall, it had good potential and little follow through.
