Picked this up again after having read it as a teen. Unfortunately it did not hold up. The story and world building is fine, but the constant internal dialogue the protagonist has going round and round and round makes the read a slog at best.
Very, very interesting concept but the ending is a huuuuuuuuuuuuge cop out. There's no resolution, no solution to the problem of the novel. Just a ‘what happens next' cliff hanger.
Meh, not a strong recommendation from me. Kind of boring and it doesn't feel like a coherent story to me. The main characters' story lines just feel thrown together.
Wow, what a slog. This did not hold up well for me. Only reason I stuck with it and finished it again was that I'm planning to read the sequel, Black House....but now I'm rethinking that, too!
