I wish I connected more to the characters so that this book would have left me in awe and wonder, instead of confusion. But as it is, or as the book might say, I was not ready to board the train.

The human connection themes could have been explored more. Or instead, the nature theme. But as it stands, the book seemingly tries to say a lot without really saying anything.

Plenty good fun. Gets a little bit of that Jeff Vandermeer Area X vibe towards the end which I enjoy.
