My favorite book. It presents such a unique and engaging experience, and I have never been more engrossed and immersed in a story. This is one that cannot be read on a tablet or e-reader. Read by candlelight for maximum effect.

I don’t even know how to rate this book. It was just an experience. It took forever to finish but in the end I’m glad I read it. It was confusing and strange and half the time I was lost but overall definitely worth reading at least once.

Well… it was good enough to keep turning the page but bad enough to where I couldn’t tell you what happened 😅 it was everything and nothing all at once. Nothing was ever really resolved. It’s just stopped. 

If this weren’t a buddy read I don’t think I would’ve finished it.
