3.0

While I loved the tenderness of the prose as juxtaposed with its strangeness, there is a point in open-ended mysteries when so much is left unanswered that there is very little payoff. While I enjoyed the premise and journey of this book, it felt too unfinished even if lingering questions were the goal.
