I don’t know if I’m missing something when I read this, but
it just didn’t work for me. The plot, as far as I could tell, was subverted for
trying to shoehorn in some cool mythical references to make things scarier and
to give it all more atmosphere. There’s even a list of references at the back,
and reading those didn’t make the plot any more accessible for me. But hey,
maybe it wasn’t supposed to be about plot. Maybe it was one of those things
where the atmospherics was the key and my own expectations subverted my
enjoyment of the text. Who knows? At the very least, the art was very well done
which plays into my thought that the doubt of what is going on and the suspense
is what makes the book one that is more along the veins of space horror. Not
entirely unsuccessful, but not my beverage of choice.
