Seeing church — such a human ritual — from an outsider's view is fascinating. It's observational, not mocking or reverent. Just detached. This is what it looks like when someone participates but doesn’t belong. It’s not an anti-religious rant, just a question asked over and over again: What are you doing and why doesn't it work for me?
I kinda love that.
So far this series feels to me like a cross between Beckett, Kazuo Ishiguro, and maybe a dash of Black Mirror, if it were written by a poet having an existential crisis.
You're getting it with Ishiguro, that's exactly the kind of sci-fi I love. Klara and the Sun, Never Let Me Go. That quiet, human approach to the impossible.
"Poet having an existential crisis." Guilty as charged.
I’m so glad the main character is connecting with you! And yes, that hotel mystery… all will be revealed in due time. Thanks for being such an enthusiastic reader!

That's a compliment, btw. 😉
I'm enjoying it!

Thanks for such a thoughtful read.
Can't wait for the next installment!
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you’re enjoying the story. Chapter 4 is on its way. Feel free to let me know what you’re loving about it so far 😊
I just find the main character very compelling. And all the hints about the "incident" at the hotel are triggering my primal "need to know" instinct.
