Curious about Project Hail Mary. Would you call it a relaxed evening pick or something to save for the right mood?

Ronan, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

Project Hail Mary is one I am weighing up. This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.

Fionn, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

For anyone considering Project Hail Mary: Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.
