The Black Pages by Nnedi Okorafor

Not sure whether the segments with Faro were difficult to follow because of its economy of words or because the setting was too much out there. It read like a prologue to something bigger, something I definitely would want to read more of.

audiobook version brought a different side of it - rereading a fourth time for this translation project, still doesn't make too much sense, the purpose of it.

I expected to enjoy this alot more then I did. The story had some really cool elements but ultimately had too little information for me to enjoy what was happening.

I often feel like I'm missing something when I read Nnedi Okorafor's writing, but I never feel like I'm missing out - if that makes sense. It's always such an interesting read and I'm always left wanting more.
