Beautifully written but confined (if not uncritically) within in a Cathy comic's grueling tedium of 1980s bourgeoisie gender norms. I think the ending made it work, however

I got this from the library out of curiosity -- it was such a thing ten years ago, that even though I never read it I felt like I knew everything in it by osmosis. I was reminded of it because I am approaching my first year anniversary of living in my new place and I thought it might be fun to follow this book as a bit. But ultimately it's seeped so thoroughly into the mainstream consciousness that commentating on it didn't seem that fun.
There is however one thing which no one told me: at one point she genuinely claims that completing her method will often cause people to have diarrhea.

I re-read The Space Between Worlds to refresh my memory when I saw that this was out, and I was nervous to see what this would be, since that story felt.. concluded. But seeing that it's following different characters is a relief! I'm curious to see where it goes.

This book is so visual and imaginative, and thrives when walking you through the surreal, psychedelic, illuminated manuscript of a world. But while it was always interesting, I found it hard to stay engaged with the story at times, particularly in the middle. The ending compelled me, and I wish I'd had more of that connection to the plot and characters through the rest of the book.
