I'm so glad you read it and that you found it an interesting experience! I had no idea I'd given the impression it was lit fic, but on reflection, I was likewise trying to avoid spoilers and so didn't say much about it at all.
I went on a similar journey of peering at the technical elements, wondering how successful some of the PoV and structural choices really were, then raising a tolerant eyebrow at the philosophical digressions, and then finally deciding that no, I wasn't imagining things, something strange was going on. Not to get too spoilery for anyone else reading this comment, but I was interested to see how my impressions of large portions the narration differed from those of several reviewers, who had opinions on what a woman would and wouldn't think about.
