Very weird in a good way. Sometimes the writing was a bit too flowery for me but it wasn't totally distracting. The story disturbing in a good way, felt like a fever dream. Power dynamics. Appropriation of native peoples. Karma. For some reason the descriptions of the Mc eating flesh were the things that stood out the most for me
