"I previously dnfed it bc I wasn't prepared for the stylistic choice. This book is a single breathless looping sentence with no periods. It reads like a panic attack, war never ends and neither does this stream of consciousness. It just won a pulitzer so now I'm rethinking the DNF - it sounded entirely up my alley, the writing was just exhausting. we'll see if it hits this time 👀" — May 05, 2026 08:40AM

Everyone stared, poker-faced, in the thick ensuing silence. Magnus looked pleased with himself. “The same middle name,” he said.”
