The writing is beautiful and though it took me a week to read this, it was less that it was slow and more so that I wanted to enjoy each part. I felt that the book lost steam as it went. The idea, setting, and style are great, but the characters (other than a few) felt a bit unexplored to me. The first 95% of this felt like a subplot to a larger book. The last line was fun and made me want to reread the book. Essentially: worth reading, but I felt very distant from the characters, and the plot felt like a subplot.
