Into queer scifi fantasy tragicomical fiction with complex and not classically happy endings. Uhm, or something like that.
Sometimes I can read books, sometimes I can't. So I read a lot while I can.

It‘s one of those books where you know, nothing really bad will happen. And the Nac Mac Feegle were fun. There were some parts that I didn‘t get or maybe they were inconsistent, especially towards the end (the dream mechanics/how dromes work)

At times, the dialogues feel more like they are directed at the reader, not two people talking naturally with each other. I'm also reading “Staying with the Trouble” at the same time, and I found the philosophical-ideas-as-dialogues way better to digest than philosophical-ideas-in-philosophical-language.
I felt reminded of “Arrival”, and maybe a bit of “The Swarm”. Felt like a short read. Refreshing style of writing? Topics: AI, identity, communication, boundaries (as in: where does one being stop, and the world begin?)
