  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

A dense book full of wild ideas, a bit of a slog but everything came together at the end making it an ultimately satisfying read that justified the denseness. I didn't find myself caring about any of the characters. But I loved the use of unreliable narrators and dramatic irony.
