2.0

Decent read with some really fun, vivid and fantastical imagery. At times it feels like a facsimile of a modernist poetical style and not so much a unique voice and (a fault of time I suppose) some of the themes and stereotypes don’t hold up too well. If this was also a little subtler I’d have enjoyed it more.

The middle is pretty weak and repetitive but those first and last 20 or so pages are really really good with some of the best stuff I’ve read in a while.
