Why read it?

1 author picked Out of the Drowning Deep as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

An aged automaton, an angel looking for more and an investigator who feeds their worst memories to a *different* angel is an ensemble that's profoundly weird and deeply relatable, in a way that only A.C. Wise can pull off. Add a far future take on a world where gods are known, feared or tolerated and you have one of the most incredible stories I've read this year.
