I just didn't get this at all. It was like the author had swallowed a thesaurus. Rarely has so little been said with so many words. Oblique and clouded by its own ambition. I couldn't even understand large parts of the story due to the floral, arcane, overblown vocabulary. Confusing and unsatisfying.
