I didn't realize that Finch was the third Ambergris book until after I'd finished reading it, so I probably lacked some foundation in understanding the complicated world. That, among other things, made this a challenging novel for me. I'm not a huge fan of weird horror and noir, which this book combines, and I had a strong disgust reaction to the fungal setting. Despite this, I really enjoyed the strangeness and creativity of the story and of Ambergris, and I'll probably read more of Vandermeer's work in the future. I think I'll pick a novel with less fungus next time, because his writing on that front is too evocative for me to handle!
