When a viral video puts twelve-year-old Xanther under a spotlight of scrutiny at school, her little white catstill slumbering, still unnamedoffers the only escape, though it comes at a price. Not even Xanther's parents can deny the strange currents now shuddering around their eldest, touching off inexplicable happenings.

Yes, it's still really good. It's getting better, even, but there's still some indulgent content and formatting that kept me from fully immersing myself in the novel. Danielewski is keeping his mammoth story tightly reined in, and we're getting more and more references back to previous installments complete with volume and page numbers.

'Hades' finds Xanther back at school with a viral clip hanging over her head. She's still unable to find a satisfying name for the little one and a solution to the pain she feels when they're apart. Despite this, and more normal terrors, Xanther is finding strength in herself and her friends to face these problems. Astair and Anwar make a crucial decision and Xanther's sisters begin to be effected by the powers at work with Xanther.

Shnork finally gives us something to go on, while Jingjing and Tian Li arrive in LA and put all of our characters in the same hemisphere. Unexpected developments occur with Luther and Ozgur, Cas and Bobby's flight takes on broader implications as they encounter unexpected allies, and Isandoro....can't simplify it much. His perspective seems to give way entirely to the Mayor and Teyo.

We swing from cliffhanger to cliffhanger, character's continue to unwittingly cross paths and yet somehow were' all set up for a big conclusion next volume when the first season comes to an end.

"The Familiar series weaves a series of interrelated narratives together. It combines different genres and styles, ranging from hard-boiled Los Angeles noir to stream-of-consciousness psychological introspection. It is referential and self-referential with typographic experimentation and excesses. At times the traditional arrangement of paragraphs shatter, explode, or blur. In other instances the words form pictures, the boundaries between word and image disappearing altogether."

Meer van hetzelfde in volume 4, - en hoewel dat op zich meer dan voldoende is om te blijven lezen en opnieuw met enig ongeduld uit te kijken naar het volgende deel, doet stilaan toch ook de verveling van de feuilletonkijker zijn intrede. Danielewski rekt het verhaal tot het uiterste en bouwt - in de traditie van de betere Netflix-serie - gretig op de aantrekkingskracht van cliffhangers en innuendos.
In het volgende deel zal Danielewski iets nieuw moeten introduceren, anders zou deze lezer wel eens durven 'wegzappen' ... ( )
