Fantastic experimental book. Your experience will be better if:
1. You understand it’s not a novel but a short story cycle embedded in a first person frame narrative.
2. You understand that time is a circle, not a line.
3. You have experience reading books by South Asian authors and some knowledge of the mythological fiction category.

I had no idea what to expect from a chunk tangle book. I just read it because Carter is making his way through the tingle verse, and I was intrigued
I was not disappointed.
It’s described as part mystery part horror, but I didn’t find the horror too gory.
The most terrifying part of this book is the role of technology in the creative arts. It is truly chilling tingling, I guess. 😉

Just not my thing. It was fun. If you like spicy romance, you will enjoy it.
