Customer Reviews

Very immersive and well-written

Wendig does a great job at portraying the disparity felt by the characters as they traverse this entrapping setting, each going through expansive transformations as they’re forced to look through the windows of their, and their friend’s, all-too-real past. This book is great for those looking to dive into the best and worst parts of humanity, friendship, and what it means to be “broken.”

Too much fluff, not enough substance.

Up until about two-thirds into the book, almost every chapter has a very lengthy paragraph dedicated to information that is neither important nor interesting. It grew very tiring very quickly to read about a DND character from 20 years ago, or a guy's trip to get a pocketknife, or an entire chapter dedicated to covering something I was already able to figure out without any explanation at all. The concept itself is solid, and the characters go through beautiful arcs. But the fluffy exposition really sucked me out of the experience.
