This book was fascinating and I really enjoy what Drayden is doing with genre-mashup and overall weirdness. It took me longer to get into than her previous novel, which may have thrown off my enjoyment a bit and meant that I liked it more on the intellectual level. The last quarter or so of the book, when it went from being interesting concept and build-up to straight up bonkers was by far my favorite bit and, while I appreciate the work needed to get to that point, it still felt like I was reading to find out what would happen eventually rather than turning pages to find out what happens next.
