Or both. It can be both, right? Reiken’s writing is enchanting, and elements of his story border on magical realism as characters discover that their lives are intertwined in unexpected and often indescribable ways. A carousel rises out of a tidal pool. A mysterious cult may or may not be conspiring against a handful of characters. Intrigue abounds.  Best of all, Reiken trusts that his readers are intelligent enough to draw lines where they belong and to be comfortable with a certain amount of ambiguity. Bonus: meta-fictiony musings about the function of narrative and the purpose of story. This is literary fiction at its best.

Reiken’s writing is breathtaking, and he plays with time in a creative and exciting way, and months after reading it, and I’m still all gushy. Put this on your list for the reader who is a sucker for beautiful sentences and is open to experimentation.

I also found your review so easy to read, the spacing helps, but very enjoyable too. Intelligent-like the book itself, well done. I’ve just finished reading this book and enjoyed it immensely.
