- Probably a mismatch if you want pure reference utility with no narrative flow.
- If you dislike unreliable narrators, the prose lingers on setting and tone, sometimes at the expense of forward momentum.

This looks built around a reading experience that should show its character pretty quickly once you start. Overall, it looks like a deeper read that asks for a little more time and attention. It also has the feel of a backlist title rather than a brand-new release.
