So far, I am enjoying the writing style. Lots of vivid imagery, the author lingers just long enough for me to really wrap my head around the details of a place or a person before pushing the plot along.
I find Lore to be an obnoxious character whose wokeness is clearly overdone. She’s a caricature of a non-conforming women, while the men all seem much more believable. Female characters are hard to do well.

Wow what a wild ride! This book gets twisty, dark, and the world/house becomes a character of its own. Very House of Leaves, I like that the characters compare it to a video game. I have so many questions about the nature of this reality, if we’re dealing with technology, parallel universe, bad drug trip, or what. Lore gets better, she’s at least a very clever character who will likely save them all in the end.
