Not usually my kind of book, but I love the mental images that the author paints for me with his words. There was strong world building in terms of descriptions of the setting and the characters within that environment. Very philosophical. Lots of reading between the lines. Challenged me in a good way. Had to google the author’s background and that helped me put the book into context.
