Kree: A Post-Exotic Novel

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

I think the translation needs some more polishing before publishing because there were a lot of “what”s spread out throughout the book that made absolutely no sense, even to me, a non native english speaker. At some point the translator also used “her” instead of “they” when refering to a group.

To be completely honest I finished the book against my will, and only because it was quite short. The reading experience is just not enjoyable, either because the writing becomes very dense at parts (either looooong paragraphs that go on for pages and pages) or “chapters” that are composed of single paragraphs that feel more like lore/worldbuilding thrown on the page rather than actual narration?

Either way, the book requires way too much mental energy to even try to understand what is going on, only to realize that nothing really happens and what little it does happen it not really intelligible. It does feel like a dream though, with it's jumbled timelines, so if that was the goal, it definitely was achieved.
