The Seventh Perfection by Daniel Polansky

5.0

An experimental sort of book, I think. Told through dialogue, no, a monologue... rather, told through the experience of the protagonist. Second-person. Mostly just speech, occasionally more. 

Destiny is ambition gilded, so bright and so beautiful it might excuse anything in its service, which is to say, in yours. What kindling did your God use, to see that blaze rise higher? 

The story unravels quite wonderfully, masterfully, for a book written like this. Or maybe it was the way it was written that makes the story unravel so wonderfully. The world that is built sounds so personal, and I love it a lot.
