emotional reflective medium-paced

A fixup and it shows. This rarely detracts from my enjoyment, though, and each story was well-crafted and thematic. Don't come expecting plot.

I loved the concept of this book. The characters are really interesting too and feel so unique. I could tell something was still strange about them though and I couldn't put my finger on it at first. I didn't see the twist coming but it made sense. Minus .25 stars because I did get lost at the end.
