Anyone calling this a mystery or a thriller has perhaps never read such a thing.

Pretty disappointed by this one, though I liked lines and elements. Read Birnam Wood instead!

I don't even know how to rate this book as I don't even know what to think about it. There were ideas but were they tied together?

Succinct and direct, with maybe the coldest protagonist I've encountered in a while! This is a story about manipulation, loneliness, and what we do when our worldview is disrupted unexpectedly. Enjoyed this!
