This is some of the most beautiful prose I've ever read, and some of the strangest plotting I've ever read. Maybe I'm not smart enough to figure it out but I can't deny the imagery and setting. Otherwise, I spent a month and a half on this badboy and I will warn you all in advance of its slow pace and odd, disparate plot lines.
