My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
. . . I'm not actually sure what just happened, but I did like it. Okay. I do know it was about the apocalypse, and a war among angels, and nanotechnology. And about reality unpeeling from it's tightly-stacked layers. And the Prometheus myth – a lot of myths, actually, interspersed in the story as they mutually rewrite each other. But it was nonlinear and dense with inductive symbol narrative, and the universe skipped and reset enough times that . . . huh.
Okay. That was very cool.
