I'm honestly still trying to wrap my head around how I feel about this book, but it was definitely a solid read. A lot of harsh realities intersect to form the playing field, and the mysticism is down to earth while still feeling real and consequential, as opposed to "oh, this is all just a hallucinatory framework for people to deal with their immense grief/trauma, and also I am very clever!" (Yes, I'm still bitter about The Midnight Club.)
