As the title says, just finished reading The Nix. This is one of the most engaging books I’ve read in a long time, I can definitely see the parallels to DFW and Pynchon but I think Hill carves out his lane here with a more down to earth story and relatively straight forward narrative.
The characters were so well developed, Hill does an excellent job of making you empathize deeply with each one. The plot was truly epic in scope, with a very human story at its heart, there’s a lot packed in here in terms of themes that really resonated with me.
Lastly, as an ex-WoW player, I found the Elfscape parts very funny and sadly relatable. Overall I loved this book and would highly recommend even though I’m about eight years late to the party.
