4.5
An amazing concept and a truly original story.
The dynamics between the main character and everyone else in Town were delightful to read, and I could have honestly spend a lot more time wandering with Grange from one task to the next, hearing stories.
However, the main subject of the novel is extremely complex and obscure-and intentional or not-hard to follow. Not that it wasn't intriguing or made me want to stop reading. I simply felt there was a lot of information that didn't need to be there, and other details that I wanted to learn. There are amazing characters I felt were left out, and their paths deserved to be followed.
I loved the way the story ended! At some point, I feard everything was lost, but the twist at the end made all the suffering worth it. And from now on, I'll treat my furniture with more kindness.
