Very hard to follow. The punctuation was abysmal, maybe on purpose, but I think it ultimately did a disservice to the book.

Ugh... really liked the writing, although there was an obscene amount of adverbs in the beginning. Especially enjoyed the blanks and the slipups throughout the book. However, I haven't read genre fiction is such a long time, it took me 3/4 of the book to get into the story.

Enjoyed it very much, the first story was phenomenal. Writing was dense, flowing, ideas bled into one another.
