Brilliant writing that is very much like Kraus. Even the themes, characters and style are quite like her previous work, so without a doubt if you already like her previous writings, this one will work perfectly for you. I personally didn't find the plot engaging enough, and the style was not much to my taste, but despite that I was still able to enjoy the work as a whole somehow. If I like Kraus' style, better, I'm sure I'll like this more. I thought the first part was a bit redundant, or least a bit too much. It gets better after midway through, I thought anyway.
