I feel as though once I've gone through more therapy I'll understand better what this book is an allegory for. For now, it's an unbound allegory. I picked up this book expecting a space opera and got something much more akin to poetry. I don't despise the book for that. In fact, I have a kind of fondness for it. But I think I will one day have to revisit it and be more prepared for poetry when I do.
