I found this book difficult to read. The style kept throwing me off the story. The author chose to use sentence fragments, juxtaposing words of phrases together, and making sense of them wasn’t always easy. There were frequent run-on sentences and sentence fragments which broke the reading rhythm. Some sections were opaque and I found myself wondering why I was reading the book.

The characterization was strong, but the “literary” style and obscure references made reading this a chore. The same storyline but with more established writing practices would make this a great story. But, it just didn’t work for me.
