I'm not too fond of magic realism and I found the "magic" part of it a bit too far-fetched to be coincidence, but not magical enough to be actual magic. I didn't love the characters, I think Varya got too little time and Simon too much, though I understand there wasn't much left to say near the end.
It was pretty good, overall. The writing is good, though a bit too crude for my tastes at times, and the plot was clear and interesting enough.
