Dark and disturbing. Poignant and engulfing. Highly recommend the audiobook version - it is read by the author and includes vocalizations and gives an added layer of depth. See content warnings.

I don't really know how to rate this, since I have the feeling that I didn't even understand half of the book. The prose was certainly interesting and beautiful. I am a bit sad that I couldn't get the audiobook. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more.

It's fantastic, but it wasn't the most enjoyable read for me. it took me a long time to read this. Maybe it was the magical realism. Maybe the pace (which fits the work though)

I'm not sure I entirely "got" this book. Some parts were beautiful and descriptive. Others were dry and pretentious.
