I liked this but did not love it. I enjoyed it because its the sort of book I do not read often, but you can tell it was a novel written by a poet. Almost reads like literary fiction but not quite. There are some parts I felt could have been shorter or cut and others I wanted to be longer. There was also some gory or gratuitous descriptions that I think could have been left out, especially towards the end. I would maybe be interested in some of the authors poetry next.
