I did not like it, but... Interesting.
Interesting.
I also read it probably in 12 hours.
So maybe I did, you know, by another metric.
I could not wait to get further along because I love the premise.
I love the premise.
But almost everything I learned from the story felt like the laziest possible narrative choice.
I'm fighting with myself about this, you know, because on the one hand, I'm like, realistically, we should just like Occam's razor it.
Like the most likely explanation is probably the one that actually is the case.
But I don't know.
Not fine with it.
But also fine with it enough to be here.
You know, like I'm not I'm not going to die on my sword about this.
But OK, but MJ, what do you think?
Is it a trad one?
But also I think that shows that the book was a concept first and then she just sort of reverse engineered everything to like make the concept, right?
That's not necessarily a bad thing, but like I do think that accounts for a lot of the shortfalls.
I also didn't totally get a great handle on her spirituality or her relationship to religion.
Tell me more.
That felt really underdeveloped.
