Remarkably more obtuse than House of Leaves.

The intermixed artwork was gorgeous but the book desperately needs a narrative through line. There’s no main plot to cut back to in order to gain your footing. Without one this mostly devolves into gibberish.

However because of that it’s a quick read.

When I first picked this book up at the library, I was immediately intrigued by the layout. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. The art was beautiful and the text was unique. However I felt like I was reading a coded message without the key. Perhaps I was missing something to help me unlock the full potential of this story? My favorite part has to be the story about the white rabbit. Spoiler?I enjoyed his narration of waiting for Alice to fall asleep by the tree so that he may begin his "I'm late" spiel.
I feel it's possible that this book deserves a 4 star rating, but my inability to follow the story made it a little difficult to enjoy.
Maybe some day I'll revisit this story with new information.

I was drawn in by the familiarity of the prose, as someone who ranks "The House of Leaves" among their all-time favorite books. Similarly, there were points I was sure I'd lost the thread of what was happening, but sometimes those are the best moments.

The artwork and book design were beautiful from start to finish, even though I couldn't follow the story. The comparison I heard to House of Leaves seems about right.
