It's really hard to put my thoughts about this this novella into a coherent form. Especially without spoilers.

Overall I liked it. It is thought provoking in ways I wasn't expecting.

If anything holds me back from an absolute recommendation is the prose. That it is a translation shows. 73 words in a sentence just doesn't work the same way in English as it does in some languages.
