expertly - and i mean EXPERTLY - written. 15 years of work certainly paid off. absolutely surreal and vivid and detailed, sometimes horrifically, writing. the only reason i debated five stars was that it dragged a few times when it came to describing the scenery. there’s world building and then there’s flexing on me with how well you can describe a desert, cormac. that being said, i’ve never felt so compelled to finish a book just so i could get it over with and actually enjoyed that experience. i can finally watch that 5 hour wendigoon video and deep dive into endless analysis! huzzah!!
