I hate horror novels and was uncertain after seeing people say it was partially horror. I still read it, and while there is a lot of violence and descriptions of gore and stuff, nothing is too over the top where my weak, queasy, little tummy starts filing return policies on yesterday's lunch.

I had no idea what was going on most of the time with all the talk about the Doctrine of Ethos and The Impossible City and "Manifest"-ing or whatever. Super confusing book, I can barely describe the plot.

I still loved it.
