I actually really liked this book. It kind of reminded me of Dean Koontz and Stephen King (minus the cocaine rambles). I also liked the commentary on generational trauma. Slay.

I was skeptical at the start about how the story could possibly lull me into successfully suspending my levels of disbelief, however, with every new chapter I found myself buying each new layer of the story. I came to love the characters, their powers, and their narrative arches, all whilst enjoying the oneness of the book itself.

Even in expecting this book to be weird, I was perpetually surprised by what happened. I don't even know what else to say, but I really liked it.
