Reading rewards attention: motifs and echoes accumulate into a thematic chorus rather than a single linear plot. Main limitation: the deliberate fragmentation and frequent voice-switching can dilute emotional continuity; sections sometimes feel like sharp pastiche instead of fully rounded narratives, so readers wanting steady immersion may find it frustrating.”
