What an unbelievably weird book. Definitely atmospheric. Good study of an unreliable narrator. Did not enjoy it. What the heck was it even saying about the world? Was there a “point” to this story? The whole world was really well fleshed out though, I’ll give it that. Excellent and vivid prose for the worldbuildibg
