This was an odd, but also thought-provoking book. We follow our main character Isserley, who you realize off the bat may be involved with some shady dealings. You don't know what they are off the bat, but as we follow her day to day life, bit by bit, we unravel more about her and her job.
This is a pretty slow moving book that I *think* I liked (I'm not actually sure how I feel about it yet) - however, I can appreciate it for what it is and the overarching themes. I do think it was best to go into this one without knowing anything about it, as you try to figure out what all is happening each time Isserley gives you a bit of a glimpse into her life.
