In reply to susan. It's very different. Her writing is still marvelous but the story floundered.

I will try to go into it with less hyped feelings that it’s from the author of Station 11. I mean, that’s got to be very hard to follow up.

In reply to Lindsay Spector. I don't think it helps that Station Eleven was her last book and now it feels like we may be living it. Tough act to follow!

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. It definitely felt like work for me to extrapolate what the meaning might be!

You summed it up beautifully. In the end I felt like it was a pleasant reading experience, but was still left wondering what the point or purpose really was and even if really was about Vincent. A confounding book for sure!

I agree with you that this ambled and didn’t satisfy me in the way that Station Eleven did. Ultimately, I found this read disappointing.
