Ehhhhh, I don't know hey. It definitely was a wasted read but I feel rather underwhelmed. I thought that the story was actually quite simple and thus predictable. The author made the ending seem obscure and mysterious by dressing their story up in unique and inaccessible detail. The world was complex and carefully constructed but I felt that the author withheld too much information about how the world operates in order to aid in shock-value down the line.

Meh, a truly unique fantasy-scape that had a rather dull ending in my opinion.
