Weird little book which is very interested in good and evil and more the lack of a clear distinction between the two. The Whatsitsname beginning it's killing spree in what seems like justified revenge only to kill plenty of innocent civilians to keep itself alive is particularly salient rn

I really wish I liked it more but I did not like the writing style at all. Too many POVs to keep track of and a very convoluted story that was hard to stay engaged with.
