i love ryan rimmels work but this is so very forced. its excruciating trying to slog through the endless tedium to this crabs sentience and ability to communicate… i just cant.
i stopped half way through chapter 5, it may pick up later but im out. the narrator didnt do it any favors either. too formal, narration disctictly voiced but the prose felt like he was reading an encyclopedia. it stared to smooth out around chapter three but never really got away from it.
