Findesferas is ambitious - just the short blurb made me interested what this was actually about. While it is certainly a quick read, it manages to connect a number of genres: Science-fiction, magical realism, surrealism, some romance here and there. The fragmented narration jumps jauntily through temporal and spatial constraints. Characters are well-rounded. All in all, Findesferas never falls short of what it tries to achieve. It is both entertaining and enlightening.
The footnotes were a bit too sprawling here and there, and some parts in the beginning interfered with the reading flow, but those are just minuscule criticisms. I loved the language, especially the bilingual parts. Let's hope that Robertson's next novel is as good as this one - you've definitely found another interested reader!
