I normally like Butler but there wasn’t much I liked about this one. It was disturbing and gross (no spoilers). But also the structure was strange—bacI normally like Butler but there wasn’t much I liked about this one. It was disturbing and gross (no spoilers). But also the structure was strange—back and forth between present and past with multiple characters—a story that wasn’t engaging and then repeated on itself. Also a world that was incomplete—not fully developed. And characters that were unlikable and inaccessible as well as strange creatures that were just weird rather than scary or intriguing or surprising. Bummer. ...more

Good concepts in this book—but I just don’t personally prefer so many descriptions of personal journeys and examples. ...more

It was so slow and there was so much unnecessary dialogue and description—and lots of ambiguity with no clues—it just got really long. And then the ending felt very anticlimactic as well. Skip this one and read instead *Survivor Song or *The Cabin at the End of the World or *Head Full of Ghosts. They were all excellent....more
