The plot of this book is really all over the place. It starts with a bomb and you think, this must be some sort of mystery-solving story. But then that part is basically forgotten about completely as you get to know Mori. His character is very well done in general and the way he has a sort of reverse Alzheimers is very beautiful and sad. I have no clue what the point of Grace was, she is like the most hypocritical person ever. 

I loved the way it was less of a story with a set up, climax and ending and more of an exploration of the characters and their connections. Especially Mori and his abilities. I will definitely be reading the next book even though this isn't usually my kind of story. The fact that its queer certainly helps.
