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.
