Bad sci fi distracts from the story

This book has so many bad sci fi tropes and just plain wrong statements. It reads like those old shoes about a genius where you just string together random science sounding words to sound smart.

Narration issues

Narration could be better. Guy sounds like he’s sucking on a cough drop and is hard to understand at times

Amazing lovecraftian take

One of the best lovecraft influenced books I have read. Unique story, compelling characters and great prose. Highly recommend d

bait and switch

I thought this was science fiction since it was written by a scientist turned out to be a fantasy story not my cup of tea.

loved it, but SERIOUSLY fuck these people

everyone is too caught up in their own bullshit to be likable, which made me perfectly okay with whichever kind of ending they got.

I was actively rooting for the away team the entire book.
