Score 3. I’m not a huge reader of fantasy books but this feels like more acid-trip mysticism than swords n dragons?

Score 2

Pros: Vaguely plausible
Cons: Based on stuff that isn’t itself particularly coherent or appealing, sets off the heresy alarms

Score 3. The words are fun, but the title is a little too mystic.

Score 3 - this feels like a book that I’d see on the shelf of a library, glance and the back cover briefly, and then move on.
