kiramke's review

challenging dark mysterious reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I'm not sure I understood what happened in part 2. But I like this exploration on the conceptual nature of disappearance, liminal states and the marginalized.

Maybe it gets better but I just can not bring myself to keep going in this book. The main character is hateful and justifies his behavior by explaining what a hard life he has. Not for me.
