Who This Is For

Best for readers who want to be immersed in a world: mood and setting as important as plot. The prose is accessible: you can read this quickly and it never asks too much of you. It moves quickly: once you're in, it's hard to stop. Plot-first readers may find the pace too slow and the ambiguity too deliberate.

Best Read When

Best read when you're in the mood for something atmospheric and mysterious, and a read that's fast and propulsive.
