More of an invisible companion’s pov on a relocation than an adventure tale. Investing enough that I kept picking it up & finished it, but not engrossing enough to keep me from putting it down & walking away for a few days. (Good for a few-chapters-at-a-time-read vs a binge-it-all-read). The antagonist is overly clear but the character development of everyone other than that person is well done.

This book frustrates me. Is it a fantasy, or is it an apocalyptic thriller with heavily hallucinating vagabonds? Why does it have an open ending? Why the murderer has NO explanations to their deeds??
