This book would make it onto my top 5 best books I’ve ever read. It’s so lyrical and complex, the writing style is something I’ve never come across before and loved it so much! I would say the first 2/3 of the book is what made me fall completely in love - the last 1/3 does change pace a little, could be a bit jarring for some readers but if you stick with it it has a very impactful and interesting ending. I would say this book is a love letter to story’s and video games. 
Highly recommend tho it is a complicated / difficult read.
