nostoat's review against another edition

4.5

This book wasn't entirely what I wanted it to be and I think it did struggle a bit with pacing or... something. I almost stopped reading at the halfway mark, which would have been a mistake because WHAT a story! What a tale! I will always be enchanted by stories of not-humans insisting on humanity, and insisting on disrupting the norms of humanity. And I love stories about divinity. I feel like there are underpinnings to this book that I didn't quite grasp—a dive into quantum mechanics in the last fourth will do that to you—but I was deeply compelled by it regardless. I think this book has incredibly rich depths to be plumbed with a reading group, perhaps.
