Every once in a while a story comes along that is so insanely unique that it melts your brain when you think of the type of mind that must exist to have created it. This is perhaps the most unique story I’ve ever come across. It is then, almost by definition, a tad confusing. It’s short enough that re-reading chapters a few times didn’t completely drive me insane. It was more so that I would read a chapter and then a few chapters later realize I didn’t fully understand that other thing the way I thought I did… best to go back and go over it again. That makes this sound miserable but I swear it’s not. I can’t wait to read the stories of all the other wayward children for as long as Seanan will write them.
