Oof, I was looking forward to this book. I like mythical stories and anything based on folklore or fantasy, but this book was not it for me. 

I would describe this writing style as the modern art equivalent of literature. It is slightly pretentious and doesn't make much sense, yet at the same time the dialogue is repetitive and childlike. It would leave people thinking 'maybe I'm not smart enough to get why this is good'. When in reality it reads like a school child's English literature assignment.  

I'm sure there will be people who enjoy the book, as there are people that enjoy modern art. I'm just not one of those people.
