I really like some aspects of this book, I just felt it was very rushed in the second half. Lots of reviews complain that it was too confusing, I didn’t struggle with that personally, as I feel it was meant to be strange but I do think that if they allowed themselves to spend more time world building and building the characters it would have been much better. I like the story overall, and I found many lines overall but the pacing was really bad and ruined the effect for me. Still liked it overall.
