This is going to be the kind of book you're either going to enjoy or hate immensely. Valente gets to be immensely creative in this book. Her descriptions are trippy and multidisciplinary, and she uses words from marine science like a champ. The story feels a bit like nonsense, and in some ways it is, but I was surprisingly moved by the ending, and if you are into a psychedelic space trip for your mind with the weirdest images you could ever imagine combining, this will not disappoint.
