Okay, this was 50% boring, 50% annoying and put me in a reading slump. I do not understand the hype at all, but I really tried to finish it because everyone seems to like it, so I feel like I should write something
- the main characters are very annoying and toxic, claim to be best friends but never tell each other anything; the only one character that I liked was Marx, but everyone treats him like shit - even author
- hated the constant overexplaining of how games work
- Zweisamkeit is not the “feeling of loneliness when you're with other people”, it's the polar opposite of that; this really annoyed me, it's so easy to google, but the author chose not to
- the writing style is just not for me
Unnecessary long and predictable. Also I hated the ending. The aliens and the ship mind were the only things I liked in this book.
Very strong and dark beginning, but in the third act the book sags and becomes a bit boring and not as suspenseful. The geese in the book seem to be just for the sake of calling it a retelling of the Goose Girl fairy tale.
