How do you write a book with no main characters, no plot, no story? I don’t know and neither does Chandrasekera.

This book was god awful. If you are here wondering if you should continue on and persevere, don’t. There is nothing in its summary/synopsis that exists in the book. It is not sci-fi by any means. There are new characters every page so not enough time to build connections or interests.

This book feels like someone who really wants to be mysterious and deep but instead is just vague and boring. I don’t think the author knew what they were writing. It appears that they took some independent short stories and tried to mash them together but this “novel” should really be sold as 10 short stories about nothing!

I’m assuming after the success of his first book they wanted to get a second book out so they collected these stories and half assed a release and “connection” between them.

My only suggestion to read this would be if you are trying to slow time because I would read this book for four hours but in reality only 10 minutes had passed.

Wandering, unimpressive prose. I wish I never read this book, I hated every minute of it. Would rate 0/5 if possible.
