- My take
- Reads like a stats model of human pain that decided to grow feelings and earthquakes. Brutal but precision-engineered.
- Perfect for
- When you want epic worldbuilding and zero emotional safety rails.
- First read phase
- Post-breakup, pretending I was just “into fantasy again.”
- Ideal reading spot
- Green Line commute, missing my stop twice in a row.
- Drink pairing
- Over-steeped black tea you forgot about until it went cold.
