Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr
4.0

 I really enjoyed this one. I wasn't quite sure what it was going to be when I started it and it was very strange in the beginning, took a bit for all the characters to align, but eventually I really started to get into it. It might have served better to be a bit shorter and I was a little weirded out by how forgiving they were toward the dude who was basically a huge idiot and tried to blow things up and shoot people for reasons that still make very little sense overall. Aside from his character arc, everyone else was a cool character.
