2.5

Unlikeable and unknowledgeable main character that scrapes the surface of consciousness issues and saying something super interesting about them. Definitely not as fun of a mystery to parse as the first book, and I think it’s a bit of a miss in terms of story cohesion by the end, as well as my interest in learning the answers.
