This book is like an acid trip but like a REALLY GOOD acid trip. I’ve never done drugs but that’s what I imagine is happening here.
It definitely grows on you I’ve reread parts of it maybe 5 times and it just gets better every time. The lore and sci fi elements are dense but you don’t need to understand all that to get the story.
Half the time I didn’t know wtf was going on but I knew if a girl ever wrote me beautiful letters like that I would marry her on the spot and that’s all that matters.
