Interesting premise, tricky to get into. Lots of exposition and confusing pacing.

Did not finish at around halfway through. Emezi writes absolutely beautifully and creates such bizarre, surreal, dreamlike imagery, but there are just some subjects I don't like to read about.

Very experimental style, difficult to read but really interesting. I did feel connected to the characters even though I didn’t always understand them.
