I can understand why this has raise attention, it is quite experimental in the prose, in the way that the characters don't have names and it is intentionally vague and mysterious. However, I found that vague way of writing exhausting. It did not hold my attention after a point and I found the reveal at the end underwhelming. I think this could have worked better if this was shorter, even though it is not such a long book.
