This is a very fun interactive read (there’s props within the pages), but the styling with the writing in the margins can be distracting or hard to read. It’s two stories in one and very interesting, especially the developing relationship between the two scholar characters making notes in the margins.

This book was... SO GOOD...but also so long. You're essentially buying a book to read three times over the course of reading it once. The format is given in the form of a basal book "the ship of theseus" which you read first. It's quite good and well written, while giving some personal reflection. You then go back to the beginning and get into the "S." part of the book. You read the notes in the margins to get a hold on the two main characters. I definitely recommend, but you need time to read this.

"What begins at the water shall end there, and what ends there shall once more begin.”

When I discover this book I immediately wanted to read it. It's a book with two stories that are linked and told by using mixed media. I found that concept to be interesting and immediately brought it! I was so excited that when I got the book in my hand, I started reading it almost immediately. And I don't do that very often.

I think my excitement may have been also the main culprit for the 3-star rating. I started reading the book, and I was really liking it. However, as my excitement started dying down, my enjoyment of the story also started to decrease. Don't get me wrong. This is a "me" problem and not a "book" problem. The story is really interesting, full of plot twists and surprising outcomes, and the mixed media is really interesting, as are the characters. However, the slow pacing and the dying of my excitement got the best of me, and that had an impact on my experience.
