You’ve done much better in summing them up here then I’ve ever seen elsewhere or done myself personally. Well sluiced.

Will note the writing style is almost weirder and more niche than the rigidly strange content though if that’s possible. It’s not difficult to get past and without a doubt enhances the general vibe & chewiness of it all, but man the sentence structures are just downright convoluted at times. Totally fitting.

Holy shit you were not joking. I’m trying to like the book, but while I like the story, it borders on unreadable.

I find myself trying to figure out what the author was thinking while writing something out, as only half of the words seem to make it to the paper.

I remember it getting “easier” once the universe & style sank in a bit after they ventured out into the desert IIRC but yeah, definitely a reread while reading type experience.

Absolutely worth it if you can stomach it though, especially the second book with the wizard students and extensive civil engineering!
