This started so strong I absolutely loved it. Clever, insightful, emotional, raw, cosmic horror with weird body horror, the interactions between the protagonist and Magenta were well done...
But then during the last 3rd of the story it left all of that behind and became nothing but long. Very long. So long it annoyed me. By the end, I was so annoyed I was glad it was over and I didn't have to go through another rambling incoherent monologue again and that kind of ruined the whole book for me. Plus, I really didn't need the romance plot.
I might re-read it to see if I'll have a different reaction the 2nd time around.
