It seemed weird to me that I was more invested in and moved by the chapters dedicated to Danilo and not by the protagonist wolf-girl's chapters. In any case, I enjoyed this strange little meditation on time and the past.

But like a rat or icy wind, love creeps in.

I am not the intended audience for this book, and the story really made that fact apparent about itself page after page. I stopped reading around page 120, after the protagonist meets his YA love interest, Lex, a character cut straight from every cliche "badass tech-girl" cloth. It's like Ernest Cline copy-pasted Lisbeth Salander and made her have a crush on a high schooler.
