Amazing visuals. So much of this book lives in ambiguity and mystery, even at the end. What is the true purpose the challenge? What are all the rules? Do they matter? In some ways, I think it is what makes the story so strong, that the author doesn't feel the need to perfectly button everything together. But I can also see why some people think this book lacks a plot altogether.
