I don’t recall the last time I read a book with writing so alive. Miller’s writing is incredibly immersive, and atmospheric to a point where my reactions to the setting and story became visceral. No word was wasted. Each character had a deeper story so expertly weighted and placed that by the final chapters, the story’s infrastructure ended in a climax so powerful in image and in meaning. One of the best reads in years, looking forward to more of Miller’s work.
