dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

I’m not entirely certain why a book of poetry and prose has questions about character development, but alas.

Nikita puts so many words to feelings.  Words of encouragement, bravery, and hurt.  She expertly weaves the human experience into beautiful works of poetry, each line resonating with me.
I will definitely revisit these words.

This book felt like someone softly whispered “Lumos” from within a room that had been dark too long. Then, there was not just light, but fireworks. In other words, magic.
