I didn't know what to expect from this book and I loved the ways in which it surprised me, weaving together different cultures, making side characters loveable in their moments, and also sometimes being sharply awful. I did at times get a bit confuse by the interwoven plots and personalities, and a little distracted during certain more philosophical moments, but overall a super unique and worthwhile read.
