Zoe Hana Mikuta. You need to have another book published by the end of next year. I can't cope like this.

 I received an ecopy of this book through Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.

There’s a lot of things I liked about this book. The characters are easy to read and feel cohesive. I really enjoy how love and redemption and what it means to be good is portrayed throughout the book.

I also am always a fan of science fiction lesbians and I really loved how their love is developed.

 

I do have one complaint though just cause it kind of seemed disconnected at times. I appreciate the diversity of this book. That being said, the way the world is presented I’m assuming that Godolia and the world in this book is a new fantasy-esque world not connected to our world. However because many of the characters are Korean (or at least that’s how they’re portrayed) there were times when they would bring up specific things to Korean culture that felt disconnected from the world that was built.  I wish that the culture was established earlier in the series so it wouldn’t feel as disconnected. I think the story could also work if it’s set in Korea in a distant future and maybe that was the intent all along but I wish it had been established earlier in the series so that when they bring up pieces of their culture that it seemed more fluid in the story.

Made me cry many times and put me in a reading slump. This book felt unnecessary, I wish we got Jenny's perspective instead, it also felt disjointed. But I respect the Sapphic, story and writing.

I don't know what to rate it... this is subject to change.

I listen to the audiobook and honestly it's kind of hard to follow along for me personally I don't know what's happening half the time but honestly I don't even care either. It's fine it's just a whatever book. The transitions are kind of weird everything happens kind of quickly but also I just don't understand the book. Not a huge fan but here for sapphics.
