2.5 - Got this as part of March's Prime First Reads.

Without a doubt, this story created a wonderful sense of whimsical atmosphere, all credit to the writing. In terms of plot and characters, the story felt like it went everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Maybe I'm simply not smart enough for this, but I felt like I was reading the accounts of someone trying to recount their dreams. You might find the unanswered mystery compelling, but I found it unsatisfying. I couldn't even begin to form a theory. Maybe it should've been longer. But hey, it was free and I enjoyed reading parts of it, even if I didn't end up liking it.

“I'm certain that there was something vibrating in the air, like a murmur, like the river of words we say without thinking when we make love. You know what I mean?”
