The Seventh Perfection by Daniel Polansky

5.0

This novel draws you in and demands your attention and curiosity: if you lend it some, you become complicit in the story, embodying an investigator or interviewer yourself as you try to piece together the narrative of this world, and of its undefined protagonist. I love experimental and post-modern writing styles, but they can be hard to execute well while simultaneously trying to build fantastic worlds and plots. This book manages to do it all. As an audiobook, The Seventh Perfection is a tight, fast-paced, 3-hour listen: I was absolutely amazed at how much story could happen in so little time.
