A fun weird horror romp. Not what I expected and it took a while to get started but the second half was great. I found it jarring that the storylines were all over the place in terms of detail, but rather had a roving eye that gazed upon characters randomly, some in great detail, others in apparent insufficient detail. I would have liked to have heard more about the constructs before they became central to the story. We heard much more about the remades and they were only side colour. One of the few novels where I would want a few dozen more chapters of world and character development.

Update 9/2022: This book has really stuck with me and might warrant re-reading in a couple of years. At some point it just clicked for me and I was and remain enthralled. I sometimes think of the garuda and how incompletely I understand their culture. Issac's plight and choices, not always good ones, haunt me.
