I wanted to DNF this halfway through so I guess this book was my short stay in hell

A really fun concept. I think the book had a few great moments that one could easily imagine within the setting that it builds in your own personal Hell. Some of the religious commentary -- if you want to call it that -- was also on point. I enjoyed it, but the final result was a little unsatisfying, but still worth a read despite a bit of a let down. I don't know if the story could've avoided that though as a consequence of the setting in the book. Really fun concept to put into the imagination though.

This book makes me feel so utterly small and unsubstantial

thought-provoking.

my only gripe is that is isn't eons longer

At my core, I can never be a true existentialist. There’s so much suffering to be had when there is no sense to be held.

wow this messed me up existentially

Nice ang concepttt and it reminds me of The Good Place with how it describes hell and the absurdity of it

A slow existential burn. Something to really wrap your head around. For my taste, lacked a significant twist?

Welcome to hell! You might be out of luck…unless you’re into Astrozorianism.
Although hell’s not exactly the place you’d expect it to be, this book closely bridges our darkest thoughts of eternal damnation and the potential reality we face in our day to day lives.
Who’s to say we’re not already there? Touching on love and connections with other—fulfillment, the mundane. The similar polarities we experience in isolation and companionship. Experiencing what the infinite might look like, but leaving glimpses of the human experience to be reflected in the after life.













Highlights

“Did I know her only for so short a time? Strange, how a moment of existence can cut so deeply into our being that while ages pass unnoticed, a brief love can structure and define the very topology of our consciousness ever after.”

But what worse fate could there be? To remember love and know it is unattainable? To know love wanders somewhere light-years and light-years distant, ever knowing it is forever out of reach? Forever hidden?

I think our love could have lasted forever. I'm sure it would have. She was so ... no, I won't cheapen it by trying to express it in words and short sentences. I loved her. That is enough.
