It didn't take much more to get my attention than body horror, fungi, and neopronouns (sort of, because they're from a different language, but when inserted in English I mean)...
The main character was both loving and funny AND a total asshole, but in a way I enjoyed observing. Ka was smart enough to "complete the puzzle" without dragging it out while the reader already had, which is why I consider the foreshadowing to be good (but I understand how someone could find it underwhelming if they expected more of a challenge - although this feels fitting for such a short a book).
I didn't know it was a retelling so I'll be reading the original, but also more from this author for sure!

It sort of provides a logical scientific explanation for the downfall of the Usher siblings and their ancestral home, but while at the same time making it even MORE creepy.
What the author did to fill out the character of the narrator was really interesting, I liked kan a lot.
