Kind of forgot that fiction could do this, until I encountered Harrison for the first time last year. I read a review that called his prose style a 'leisured opacity' and I think that's great and I'll leave it at that.

I wanted to like it more than I did.
I understand the influence this book had on a lot of the writers usually classified as the New Weird. Parts of it really were great, but somehow reading it felt like a chore instead of, well, fun.
Just like the first book in the Viriconium series, I would have loved the book to spend more time in Viriconium itself.
