This was a re-read because I love this book. It's so weird and I can definitely understand why some people don't get on with it but it includes so many of my favourite elements - a story within a story, fictional famous people, illustrations, footnotes, queer female characters, a enigmatic narrator and a map at the beginning. Some of the intrigue was obviously lost because I knew what was going to happen but I still raced through the second half.
