I cried so much. Such a well written book. Perfectly describes the horrors of aging, loneliness, industrialization, and corruption. Also Avalon was legitimately funny and I will die on that hill. While unexpected for me, I love the direction the ending took!

Also the cover art is by Trevor Henderson???? Literal perfection. Read this book.
