Status Updates From The Dark Sisters

“She waited with a certain confidence in her aloofness, intent on playing her own game”

I still dislike the narrators endless overly explained psychological explanations. Narrator isn’t curious about anyone because narrator already knows everything? And narrator is annoyingly pessimistic? To the point that the observations become tedious REAL FAST?

I’m into the plot tho, and I like the oddball sister.

Idk about this first chapter…. Not too excited about the narrators “explain all psychological elements” for each character and the “explanations” feel mostly cynical and proud?

Karen was silent, seeing in her mind's eye the whole world gone blank and meaningless, a dead globe spinning insanely across the sky, with everywhere the senseless, painted masks, like Chinese lanterns sawing up and down, mopping and mowing in imbecile emptiness.

Alone once more, she experienced a sweet restoration. There was a wonderful satisfaction in being alone. Solitude was kindly and comforting and full of rest and renewal. She felt herself floating back to tranquility in the calm lap of silence, steeping herself in the peaceful, quiet seclusion.

Her long horse's face was rather rakish under a little black felt skullcap that was slashed up over one eye to display a triangle of dead white forehead.
