All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders

2.0

I really wanted to like this book. I heard good things and the synopsis sounded promising, but honestly it was just too much. The story was random and scattered and I just couldn't get into it. I figured maybe it would just take time to understand the unexplained terms and situations, but 170 pages in and I didn't want to expend any more energy on the book so I sped through the rest of it. The author states in the afterword that if the novel doesn't make sense or seems too random, they'll come over and explain it with origami finger puppets. Maybe I need that to enjoy/understand the book?
