Spent the last month reading this one on and off and I'll be processing it for a while. I can't decide how I feel about the ending but mostly I feel disheartened. There's a dark humor here for sure but ultimately such a bleak outlook at the crushing weight of systems. Excellent writing throughout though.

My husband and I have made it to Budapest on our trek through Eastern Europe. I‘ve tried to pick up a book in each country (but I missed out in Bulgaria and Croatia—not enough time to track down bookstores in the towns where we were that sell English editions). Anyway, I couldn‘t decide between a nonfiction and a fiction for Hungary —so I got them both. 😀 My carry-on is bursting at the seams now. Good thing we‘re heading home this weekend! 😬

This took a while to get into. There's a lot of description of new ideas, concepts and explanations. And a lot of telling instead of showing. But it was sort of worth it in the end. I'll read the next book to see if that stays true. #22-2025

I really enjoyed this and I'm sad the next installment isn't out yet. Very girl goes to magic school with dragons but done in an interesting way. Excellent take on fighting colonialism.

Normally, I would say that the story dragged, but I think in this case, the way the story meanders adds a lot ot the atmosphere of the novel. To me, this wasn't so much a “whodunnit“ novel as a “What even happened here?“ Some scenes in this book border on the supernatural.
