Maybe if I was more into Lovecraft this would have been a bigger hit for me. I liked the nuance of the characters but when most obstacles are simply bigotry, that gets taxing for me. Also, I felt like we didn't resolve the primary mystery of the book. The ending made sense and it reflects the messy and unclear world we exist in but it was a bit limp for me. A good read and I deeply loved the character Aphra.
