Weaveworld

I'm struggling to rate and review this book because it is probably the most unique novel I have ever read. The entire experience of weaveworld feels eerily close to what Wonderland is described to be within the book - a world teetering at the edge of human comprehension. I'm very unsure who I would recommend this book to, all I can really be sure about is that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A lush, enthralling world; gorgeous prose; all kinda wasted in service of two pretty bland and uninteresting main characters. That being said, Barker is so good that I would still rather read something like this than most other fantasies. Struck throughout by how queer this narrative is and how good it feels to read something that's this striking and different in that way. Will have to check out some of Barker's other books.
