This is difficult to rate. A deeply frustrating and confusing read (via narrative necessity), but one that is well-executed on a story level. There is a pay-off. I imagine that this book is very good as a re-read.
I found myself decently visually challenged regarding characters in this novel; so many of them are described in mountainous quantities of superlative adjectives that a reader comes away with only a blinding aura of an idea of what they actually look like. Except G-Man, he's "normal," apparently. Locales and scenes are described in similar fashion, much akin to the "show but don't actually show just kinda describe the outline of it all"-not-tell worldbuilding that Muir has done well to corner.
