Sophomore novel from Hogarth. Very clever turn or phrase and exceptional writing. The plot just did not carry for me. Never felt like I cared what was happening to the characters to keep moving ahead.
I truly can't decide how I feel about this book. It's different and the ending was unexpected. But it took forever to get to the climax.

This book took me ages to finish because it was so slow at times that I would put it down and not pick it up for months. I like the writing style mostly but the plot felt like it was taking forever to get to and then suddenly it was over. It was very anticlimactic.

Yeaaaah, I really don't know. I feel like this story hasn't fully explored the potential of its premise. The climax was SOOoo anticlimactic. The plot was weak in general, and the character arc was non-existent. I did enjoy the social commentary though. It is just quite dissapointing after the perfection of the Night Thing.

Interesting buildup to a lukewarm ending. I crave conspiracy. I crave the vibes of Stepford wives/don’t worry darling.
Even so I am convinced the other reviewers are haters— objectively, this story means something!

Love the style of writing but lost the plot for me. Stopped reading after about 70% of the book
