clarke is a sick freak for writing novels that are annoying for the first hundred pages and then just when you’re certain nothing she could do could recontextualize what you’ve been reading to make it interesting she steps on the gas. at a hundred pages i was mad my love for strange had gotten me to read this book; at 170 pages i’m disappointed it isn’t 500 pages long.

hope she sticks the landing
