The Dervish House

First off, this is a phenomenally beautiful book. The writing is lyrical, and the pages of description are a treat to read. The sci-fi worldbuilding's also interesting, and I like the way he incorporates modern-day Turkish culture and Turkish myth into this Istanbul of the future. However, it's also an extremely confusing book; there's six or so independent plots going on, and when read all at once they seem pretty chaotic. They do coalesce, eventually, and the ending is satisfying, but it was hard to keep going while not being sure what was going on throughout most of the book.
