The writing is "dense". Not in the bad way. The author has found a way to strip every single bit of excess from the novel. Then like an origami master folded what remained into what I can only assume are extra dimensional spaces. I find that I take a bite out of the story and when I put the book down that bite unfolds and builds and becomes so complexly and richly detailed that I have been amazed over and over.
