Well that was…something.
I can’t fault the writing in this book, it’s very well done and eerily poetic. But the plot is just one crazy thing after another. I suppose when you’re imagining the end of the world you get some leeway, but I was blindsided again and again. It was hard to come up for air honestly.
Lulu is an interesting, but implausible character. She’s set up to be the Eve of the apocalypse, which is pretty cool, but making her out to be a genius in a child’s body was weird. I wanted to like her, but her strangeness made that difficult.
While I’m mildly curious about what happens in this world, it’s not enough to entice me to continue the series.
