It is as perplexing as it is enthralling, from beginning to end. Jeff VanderMeer does an incredible job of painting an overwhelmingly bleak setting that leaves you wondering if there will ever be even the possibility of a glimmer of hope on the horizon. It is difficult to predict where the story will go from one chapter to the next, but you can be sure that it will be both mind-boggling and exhilarating. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the ending was absolutely outstanding!
