Honestly I feel like three stars is being generous but the book was entertaining enough so I'll leave it (I've since decided not to leave it). However I found the plot drags and meanders, and it just felt incredibly unorganized. The characters were flat, and not to say they're unlikable, but there wasn't enough development for me to grow attached to any of them, and this includes all the relationships as well. The prose itself was pretty and flowery, but it also felt juvenile and repetitive. I think the book was too ambitious, and perhaps with a different editor it could have been better.

This is a book that would be amazing on a high budget visual method. The story and descriptions are vivid and beautiful to imagine. Some twists were identifiable early on while others weren't so apparent. The ending is beautifully depicted as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I think that the message that the author wanted to convey was powerful and I really liked how the story ended and all the things we learnt. I really liked the world-building of this book and I was very immersed in it. I really enjoyed the experience!
