The first part was very engaging and I quickly got into it but then it really dragged in the middle.
The vibe of the book was also really quite uncomfortable, I felt anxious reading it.
I’m not sure if I’m glad I finished it yet. Definitely not the same vibe as Harold Fry.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The story took a while to get going but I was deeply absorbed into the world and the language and the emotional impact of the reveal towards the end was very powerful.
