“This book started really strong for me, with a mysterious series of intriguing chapters where it’s not entirely clear what’s real and what isn’t. And it ended on a high note, with a beautiful chapter about the progression of a relationship over decades with an earnest, emotional payoff.
But much of the middle lost me, with a series of dream sequences that I couldn’t bring myself to care about, and much of the time it felt like Banks was focusing more on being clever than on crafting a story that the reader can connect to.”
