I was so excited to see that this 4th book had come out, because I “remembered” loving the first three so much. I knew it would be very mind twisty and disturbing and cthulhu-esque, but I couldn’t follow all of it. Maybe it has been so long since I read the other ones that I fell out of the groove, or maybe it is one giant, convoluted, 6th dimensional word salad. I liked it, but I feel like I missed something. 
Narrator was fantastic.
