I love a good surreal work of fiction and this book has that in spades. It reminds me of Dark Matter and The Starless Sea, with a world that is stunningly vivid and terrifying in equal measure. I honestly didn't know much about this book going in, only that three of my favorite authors were raving about it. I'm glad I didn't know much because diving into the world felt completely right for the setting. I'm hesitant to give away much in the review because I think the reading of the book is the best way to really understand it. I will say that the length is perfect and while it doesn't bother me that not everything is explained I anticipate that will be the biggest complaint. If you don't mind open ended conclusions to trippy novels, then I think this is a go to. My one sort of warning against it is that one of the "antagonists" (not the lead character's antagonist but certainly not a good person) is queer and none of the other characters are confirmed queer or straight. This is somewhat problematic but considering that romance is in no way the focus of this book I can't rule out the possibility of more of the characters being queer.
