The premise is basically what if the universe is a computer with speculative execution bugs. If you understand that sentence, it's probably going to be irritatingly slow and repetitive for you.
I liked the idea but I felt it was poorly written. They were sentences that literally did not make sense. A bunch of exposition I ended up just skimmimg over. A narrative that didn't really gel with me, and a bunch of points where I was just confused what was happening.
It's a fun idea, the concepts are interesting, the relationships could have been something, but it just didn't go anywhere because everything was so black and white. The stakes didn't feel like stakes because the protagonists are too competent and everything solved by magic. And none of the plot points seemed to amount for anything? The car bombs? The conjuring of food? The magic system? It was all just a sidebar to the actual plot, which didn't go anywhere. I dunno, I wanted to like it but I think the reviews were about right.
