A book for anyone who supports women’s wrongs and women’s rights. Also for people who enjoy stories where characters have incredibly intricate plans that have small details that pile up into big successes.

Stunning book, beautiful prose, and interesting world building. Someone asked me what this book was about, but I couldn't answer, which adds to the fun and mystery.

A debut that’s dark, and darkly amusing. If you like ‘weird’ books, this is a must read.

I needed to pick this up at every chance to see where it was going next. The thread isn’t the easiest to follow in all places, which is natural for a debut, but everything that is happening kept me going.

This is heavy in its content. If you don’t have the stomach for harm to every kind of creature, human or animal or deity, I would turn back now.

This was so good. It blew me away. Fantasy with a horror lean to it. Basically a gods adopted children trying to survive when he goes missing. It’s hard to say more without spoilers

Also I’m not sure if this was a random stroke of enlightenment or what but the only other thing he’s written are some early computer manuals lol
