In all honesty I am not a huge poetry person and personally prefer more clear story elements, but I still enjoyed parts of this book. I don't believe I'd read it again, but I'd still reccomend it if you want a book that's just 100% desperate savage emotional vibes. The main characters are just 5th dimensional monster women full of violent yearning and that's pretty neat.

i actively do not like time travel and sci fi as a whole isnt something i gravitate towards, but oh gods did i adore this book. my most prevalent annotation was just "AAAA". im not joking, i probably wrote it at least 20 times.
the twist at the end was admittedly one i saw coming (i guessed it by the second letter) but i could not figure out how it worked so it was still interesting and shocking when it did get revealed.
per my adult/minor relationship cw:
fav quotes:
"[i am] yours as i review your words by their sequence, their sound, smell, taste, taking care no one memory of them becomes too worn"
"i want to meet you in every place i have loved"
"there was, i am sure, a time i did not know you. or did i dream that me, as i've so often dreamed of you?"
"i'll be all the poets, i'll kill them all and take each ones place in turn, and every time love's written in all the strands it will be to you"
