"I want to meet you in every place I have ever loved." -Blue

"What we've done will stand, no matter how they weave the world against us."

This book is well crafted, brutal, and poetic. It also, for the most part, is not what I would have considered my kind of book, and I struggled to read past the first confusing chapters. I was not expecting the literary density and convoluted phrasing of the letters between the two main characters. It felt like work to focus and hold on to the plot. Epistolary works often require a bit of patience. But boy am I glad I stuck with it! This story has a great payoff, even if it leaves a lot unexplained in the worldbuilding and open for the reader to interpret and imagine.

Wow. I’ve never read a book like this before. I heard good things beforehand, and I was pleased that I enjoyed it as much as I did.

The writing is decadent and poetic. I’m not going to lie and say that I completely understood the sci-fi elements, but it didn’t matter to be honest.

This book had me silently screaming. Sapphic enemies to lovers plus time-travel is just *chef’s kiss*.

I want to read this again and again. Highly recommend.

I have just been unmade and remade in the image of this book. Don’t text.

Wish the Sci-Fi part was more,, explained? important?
It seemed so interesting but unfortunately fell short, which made plot points confusing and kind of boring at times. I felt it only got really good as i started to ignore the confusion, but i'd have much prefered some more detail in that sense.

How everything between red and blue got tied together tho was quite nice! I assumed reds presence troughout the story but didn't link it to anything at that point.
