This book is great but I can’t tell you much about it. Its beauty is in its vague first half & how it unravels the mystery. What I will say is the book is brilliantly genreless & unique. It is both fantasy & philosophy wrapped in the binds of mystery.
I do think the mysterious first half was more interesting to me than the second half or the reveal itself, however neither portion of the book would make sense or interest without its other half (beginning/ending). Overall it comes together in way that just feels soothingly earned by its audience.
