How did anyone like this?
The writing style may have been enjoyable for some, but it irritated me so much. Why can‰ЫЄt you use quotation marks???
This was just an annoying read from the beginning for me. I really thought this was going to get better, so I kept reading. They never give any back story which was hard for me.
I can‰ЫЄt think of one thing I liked about this book.

I can fully understand why some would find this a trudge or a slog, but I really enjoyed it. Bizarre descriptions and a very simplistic dialogue that doesn’t feel like it flows from inability but understanding. I really enjoyed this book.

Well that was a fitting first book for my Covid 19 quarantine. Read this during the winter when it is cold and gray. I will be thinking about this one for awhile.
