Just consumed chapters 1 - 15 without realizing how quickly it had gone. That's 1/5th of the book so far. 😊 The chapters are very short, and there are a lot of time & location jumps. It takes a moment to get used to the pacing.
I enjoyed how a number of sentences leave you to fill in the blanks. In particular, the phrases "bigger and wider than he would have preferred" and "pleasant memories, now bittersweet" tell stories all by their own. Some of the descriptions are expertly crafted, including mentions of "hydric explosions," and the ceasing of the "electronic bass' seismic tension." The most vivid to me so far is, "A slight mist was beginning to settle, which caused the light sources to be crowned with haloes, like saints in a photonic sky."
I like to get in characters' heads, and so far feels like the characters want to keep me at a distance. They have enough problems as it is, and I'm unwelcome.
I can forgive the numerous typoes. As a translation, it's better than not having one at all.
I did get distracted a bit with learning all sorts of things, like how a microwave gun works. 😅
Looking forward to reading the rest!
