Maaaaaaan how have I not read this woman's work before? She writes incredibly!

Fuck me.

How incredible are her ideas and concepts?

I am so so happy I read this book. This was incredible. Just so much of wow.

On a serious note, I can tell that this narrative was designed to be more accessible. Which I both appreciate and worry about. I wonder if the narrative didn't need less easy fluidity to match with the others?

Maybe I'm being overly difficult.

Also the Signalman... man the Signalman...

Don't take my rating as a reflection of the book. It clearly just wasn't for me. I'm sure other people will absolutely love it.

The best feeling in the world is when the pieces of Caitlin Kiernan's plots start to click.
