True Detective meets Inception was how the book was pitched to me, and that was pretty correct. The pacing and writing quality was well done throughout. However, I found the ending to be rushed and extremely underwhelming. I believe I understand what the author was trying to convey in the epilogue, but it left a poor taste in my mouth after reading. I would still recommend the overall story due to the premise and imagery alone, but be prepared deal with a very divisive ending.
