I don’t know what I was expecting from this and I’m not even sure if I got it. The cover promises “A demonaic battle for planet earth lit by the flames of Hell”. What it delivers is a slow hallucinatory sort-of love story with a very... interesting climax.
It’s such a meandering unpredictable story that it’s impossible to go into any specifics without spoiling the story, but the climax was so fast that it boggles the mind how slow the story leading up to it was. So much was left unexplained too that once you recover from the club-to-the-skull of an ending, you barely grasp what even happened.
The prose itself was good for a pulp sci-fi novel and the concept has great potential, but the final product is a muddled mess. It’s hard to dislike these unknown treasures though. No other genre provides such off-the-wall premises and endings.

i mean not AMAZING and obv the way the women r written is very much of the time for a man in the 70s which makes it like ew during some parts but idk.
it was honestly just vibes. i enjoyed the last 2 chapters a lot theme wise but it was kind annoying to have a pretty good detailed scenes and chapters and then the climax / falling action just not be as detailed. enjoyed for the vibes!

Night Mare is floating on a lazy river into a trampoline into space.
