penwing reads (they/them) reviewed Gogmagog by Jeff Noon
Gogmagog
4 stars
I liked it - it's sheer weirdness (and wyrdness), the river trip, the characters...
My biggest criticism is probably the structure. It's very episodic and we learn little about the cultures our characters come from (except in may a specific episode/chapter) as they're all the only examples on page. There are also many time chapters end on a cliffhanger or other high tension point only for the next chapter to skip past the resolution and tell us in flashback undoing the built up tension.
