interesting concepts but a bit too enigmatic for me. we jumped from character to character and concept to concept without a ton of connecting threads, so esp listening to the audiobook i struggled to keep track of what was happening

Interesting concepts that just…. never went anywhere. Maybe I’m not understanding/there’s a translation issue, but I feel like the writing was very stilted and underdeveloped. You can just read the book description to know exactly what happens in the book.
