I wish I could read this again
The ending is hopeful enough to not give me severe depression por a month.

I heard good things on about this book on social media. For me, this book was alright. I spent the first part confused.

I wasn't sure how to rate this book. 3? 4? Beautifully written. If you like poetry, it's great. I do, but in this book, sometimes the language interferes with the story. It's sometimes hard to figure out what's going on and why. It requires some thought and concentration, which I usually appreciate. In this case, I felt like I had to interpret the poetry as I was reading the story just to understand what some of the imagery was telling me about the characters and the plot. If I'm into poetry, I'll seek it out. When I'm reading sci-fi, I'm looking for something different and this wasn't really it for me. I'm not much into love stories and this is more love story than sci-fi, even though it's loaded with more sci-fi elements than nearly any sci-fi book you'll ever read. To me, the love letters were a bit long and indulgent, which caused an otherwise very short book to drag. However, the end of the book nearly brought me to tears with a real emotional payoff. Thus, I didn't really enjoy the journey, but I appreciated it when I reached the destination.

There is so much to love about this book and the less one knows about it, besides its beauty the better. This book truly gave me a new perspective on books and writing.
This is how we win.
