Palimpsest by Catherynne M. Valente

DNF at 40%.

I may come back to this, if only because I can’t decide if I love or hate the writing. The plot is intriguing, albeit minimal; the characters are fairly flat but mostly inoffensive (I can’t honestly say likable when there’s so little to go off of). Perhaps the best comparison for this book is, fittingly enough, a dream: painstakingly detailed in some areas and sparse in others, and you kind of just have to take it as-is.
