Beautifully written and unnerving in the level of detail to the world created here. Found it quite slow moving, though I enjoyed the detail.
Despite the vivid picture painted, much was left to the imagination or open to interpretation.
Personally I love the character/timeline hopping, keeps the reader fresh and attentive while moving through the stories with the pace changes.
Found it harder to get through Control’s sections. His man baby tendencies were a stark contrast to the director or ghost bird who I maybe related to more.
