*3.5 stars. Karen Russell is a gifted writer. She is on the same level for me as Lauren Groff, Poe Ballantine and T.C. Boyle in her mastery. She is also exceptionally unique and creative. All of that said, this story just can't quite connect on the emotional level I wanted it to and she misses opportunities to expand on this fascinating sleep-deprived world through character development. But, man, can she write a sentence.
