I find the style of writing- those fragmented thoughts and philosophising and musings to be very similar to the way I love to think and write. Assembly was not what I expected, more poetry than standard narrative, but I think it really allowed so many thoughts and concepts to be incorporated in such a short time, by the end of the less than 100 pages I really knew parts of this character, and felt that I connected to the decisions and frustrations she faced, even if they do not explicitly reflect my own. Flew through the novel, great pacing and overall really enjoyable read
