Some parts of this story were really profound linguistically and I loved the thoughts they stirred within me. Overall though, the book was a bit too poetic for me to wholly connect with.
It was obviously a quick read so I don’t mind the time I spent on it, but my tastes are better suited to other genres and writing styles!
