What I had hoped would be (as advertised) an immersive world of engaging stories turned out to be a poorly coordinated blend of banal new age music, uninteresting abstract images, and a series of amateur and mediocre short stories. To make matters worse, actually trying to "immerse" oneself in these stories (combining the art & music with the reading) is next to impossible, since the controls to browse through the pages are awkward and clumsy, and often useless if the app becomes stalled. While simply trying to read one page after another, I somehow got detoured and the app forced me to listen to a song or view a gallery of the art. Getting back to the story wasn't helpful, because I had no way of marking the page from which I could resume reading.

the "chapters" are NOT clearly marked, I will not get into the issues with grammar and punctuation. This is supposed to be immersive, I am going to presume that the "immersive" part has nothing to do with the music or the art work. The music is unique, but it is also grainy and if there are words the voice is over toned by the instrumental. The art work, though stunning, does not go with the story. If this is supposed to be immersive or rather inclusive, than the art should go with the story.

I read Rin, Tongue, and Dorner. The novel is an exploration of the inner struggle between the id, ego, and superego. I found the writing to be in-depth and thoughtful. Each character had an individuality that was fun to see. The scenery was interesting yet easy to envision. Superb music tracks. I was less excited about the artwork; I found it all too similar. Author occasionally overexpounds, but not a big deal. Overall, I liked this and will be reading some of the other books on the app.
