Bats of the Republic: An Illuminated Novel by Zachary Thomas Dodson

adventurous challenging mysterious medium-paced

3.0

My feelings at the end of this book are pretty similar to the way I felt when I watched the movie The Fountain several years ago - "well, that was visually stunning, but I can't really tell you what the story was about." This was hovering between 3.5 and 4 until I reached the very end of the book, at which point my rating of it dropped. I expected the varying story lines to All tied together in a different way, I did not expect to spend 20 minutes after completion scouring the internet to find out what the ending meant.

In short, it is great if you want to read something for the visuals and The vibes more than anything else, but not something to read if you really want a coherent plot
