I absolutely would recommend it, if not for the story, which was a bit hit or miss for me, then definitely for the way in which this book was produced - a mastery of paper and print, something really lovely to just hold and think about,

Have only glanced at Tree of Codes. It looked very cool, disorienting at first, but then I figured it out. Would you recommend it?
