Ahoy there me mateys!  I adored station eleven and the singer's gun so much that I got a hold of this book without knowing anything about it other than the author and title.  This is a lovely literary book with just a touch of the supernatural and a touch of murder mystery.  Ultimately though, the heart of the novel is what I think the author does best - intricate character studies that all eventually tie together.

I really want to gush about this novel but I can't.  Any gushing would just be spoiler-filled and somehow diminish the read.  This is my current best read of the year in terms of writing quality even if there be other novels I emotionally enjoyed reading just a bit more (I love Murderbot!).

Side note: Check out some interesting reviews with the author at npr, book page, and kirkus.  Arrrr!
