"But before we get to the action, I'm going to talk to you at length about technical details."

I love Alexis Hall, but so far, this is an exceptional modern retelling of Melville's Moby Dick. Down to the really awful, rambling, overly philosophical soliloquy. So in that sense, a victory! And also, I'm struggling to read this one, too!

the more i randomly come across people being mad at this book, the more i enjoy it. if cringe millennial/tumblr humour is a crime, then give me death penalty.

The epigraph portion of this book contains quotes from both Jupiter Ascending and Dinosaur Comics and it's feeling like this book is weirdly aligned with my interests. (Also, the single-word John Scalzi blurb is sending me. I think it's the period.)
