This is a translated work from two Ukrainian authors.
I can only describe it as slow burn, very dark, weird, cerebral, and existential. I’m not sure who I’d recommend it to but I really enjoyed it.

This is definitely a book that I have to revisit in the future. I was drawn into the story from the beginning to the point where I read the entire book in one day. I think it has elements of dark academia, but it's hard for me to say that it is dark academia. In a way, you get a little bit of everything with this book - a bildungsroman, fantasy, horror, dark academia, etc. For a book about words, I'm at a loss to find the right ones to describe it.

Hard to put down, wanted nothing more than to immerse myself in the words and travel into the book.
In the begging it reminded me of the Umbrella Academy but less whimsy. Then there seemed to be a dash of the Atlas Six but significantly more developed and poetic.
This is a book I intend to read again so that I may dive deeper into its structure and sift through its beautifully built layers. A must for the home library

What the?! What did I just read? Talk about an undefinable book! Highly compulsive and addictive. I only gave it 4 stars because I didn't understand some of what I read (no fault of the translation / author, some of the concepts went over my head) , but found it enjoyable anyway.
