What a strange and dark and spiritual and courageous novel. It’s not an easy read but I’d say it’s unforgettable.

Reading this is like stepping out of a hot stuffed room into a cold morning. Every sentence feels both intentional and effortless. The reader is so immersed in her world. The clarity that comes through the book is a reminder that you can essentially write about ...not that much ..for the entirety of a book and have it be a page turner because strong writing is more compelling than a 600 pager of 10 subplots with 20 species that spans 5000 years. I'm finding here the escape (into the wilderness and another consciousness) what I long to find in all of the fantasy and sci Fi I've read this year.
