4.5
The plot twists at the end had my jaw on the floor. And they make beautiful sense when you reevaluate the character of themselves that Garréta is portraying. Definitely worth rereading. Beautiful language and translation, amazing concept for a book that is interesting right out of the gate. Highly recommend. The only downside that keeps it from 5 stars is it can be difficult to follow along with what Garréta is detailing for the reader, as their tangents and plots for the story sometimes seem unrelated to the overall themes and it can be difficult to piece everything together. I am curious how it reads on a second time through however.
