I didn't really care about the plot or characters, but that book was amazing for my imagination. It was quite challenging to imagine everything, and it was a very fulfilling exercise. I feel like after reading that book my imagination leveled-up.

Agreed. I don't think the point of the book was the plot, it was the...atmosphere? I found it incredibly immersive and inventive. Like I just sank into the world she created.

It's probably not a book to read if you approach books analytically because yes, it's lacking in certain areas. Sometimes I read simply for escapism and it fit the bill perfectly.
