Analysis: The quoted text above is the opening paragraph, and the entire book seems to be written in that same hyper-stylized quasi-poetic voice, but it just does not flow for me. I had to concentrate so hard on the unusual narration that I simply could not slip into it. As poetry, or high literary art, maybe it’s brilliant, but I can’t tell. I don’t read those genres so I’m not qualified to judge them. Immerse Or Die is about immersive speculative fiction. And on that front, all I can say is that this one didn’t work for me. At all.
