I'm really glad I read this author's second book first, because this book was a bit of a mess, and I would have taken much longer to get to Floating Hotel, which was easily a five star read. This story feels much more meandering and unsure of itself, with moments that feel almost painfully slow, but with an ending so rushed I was slightly confused as to what was happening.

Following a traveller, looking for her lover across a desert wasteland, this introduces us to the different characters who she meets by switching the POV over to them, and we see her through their eyes, young and old. Sometimes, the story will then switch over to traveller. Confusingly, it would often switch to her POV too.

Much like Floating Hotel, we slowly piece together the story as the chapters progress, but unlike Floating Hotel, I have absolutely no clue why we couldn't have found out what happened right at the beginning of the story. When we did get the answers in the end, I still wasn't sure what happened. I was truly just confused for most of this book to be honest.
