    I’m also very curious about it, it’s on my list, but I probably won’t get to it until later on. I’ve heard it’s quite disorganized and chaotic without having a straight forward plot. So, you liked it then overall?

      Honestly I don’t know if I liked it or not, I liked the experience of reading it, it’s fun particularly out loud as it is very melodic, but I wouldn’t read it again, it’s densely written. It does present the more Eastern notion of cycles and circles of life and history which I found interesting, but I also found some underlining bigotry in certain passages which was weird.

      I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to have a totally new experience reading a book, although I myself didn’t approach it like that as I stumbled upon the book by chance and wasn’t all that familiar with what awaited me.
