I am still not sure how this book is not an international bestseller because it is just that good. This is the third fourth time I've read it, and I still love every moment of it. There is not one extraneous or saggy scene, and I can think of, maybe, three other novels that I can say that about because it's damned hard not to write in exposition and boring shit that is needed to move a book along. I love all of the characters, I love the setting, I love the surprises, I love the tiny romance that blooms, I love everything. I don't know, 14 hits all of my lizard brain happy-spots, and I say this as someone who is not a (view spoiler)[Lovecraft (hide spoiler)] fan.
