If the book was a bit shorter/had some footnotes, I would have ranked it higher. Overall the concept was interesting and through googling some parts I learned a lot about Malewicz. But at some point I grew tired of the style.

Those two essays were excellent, I loved how many contexts Sonntag gives us - literary, political, societal and religious. Some of the phrases didn't age well but I wish she were still here and could write about the recent pandemic.

It was a really interesting world and I really enjoyed the way the audiobook was done, adding music was a great choice. I would love to see it adapted into a movie.

I find the humour cringey, the plot boring and the narrator is annoying.

I really liked the book at the beginning, but in the middle I got a bit bored/annoyed at the MC. The ending though fit quite neatly with the story, so I would say it's still worth a read.
