Similar to how I felt about many of Alexis Hall’s other books—he writes about the emotional / mental journey of a character over time, which means the first half of the book is really annoying first person narrative. I haven’t decided yet if the payoff of the narrative becoming less annoying is worth it. It’s certainly unlike anything else I’ve read, though.
And, to be fair, I did laugh out loud several times reading this, so it’s not that I didn’t enjoy I at all.
