This is one of those books that I could sit here for hours and try to express my thoughts about it but I just don't know what to say. 
Firstly, there were some quotes and scenes in this book that I really did enjoy, whether they were poetic or completely insane. 
Honestly, I could just describe this book as creepy, crazy and sad (and a bit horny). 
Also, I enjoyed the author's sarcasm for the pretentiousness of some people in the art world. I think that it was done in a very smart way. 
On the other hand, there were some parts in the story where I couldn't understand what was happening, but I understand that this is the author's purpose. 
Overall, this was an interesting read hence why I am giving it 3 stars.

I think the main reason I enjoyed (and devoured) this book so much is because so much is up for interpretation. And normally I hate that,  but it worked so well for me here. The rage and abandonment in a workshop. Feeling like an outsider. The representation of her voice, her art, and that the ideas themselves are her soulmate. The fucking possibility that
Samantha is  schizophrenic or some other type of mentally ill that leads her to make up all the magic. The idea that writing or art instead is magic/magical.

It was a slow start because the language was heavy and flowery, but I did enjoy how the author used the language of the book to portray the mindset of the main character. Also it was quite the twist. I definitely did not see it coming.
