This book just feels like pure art. I loved reading the story even though the writing style could also be challenging at times. The story itself is very mysterious and doesn’t really answer any questions. You just have to go with the flow. But it didn’t bother me at all, it just created a mysterious atmosphere that gave the words even more opportunity to shine.
This will be a story I can reread and always find discover new with each read.

However, I found myself savoring it in bits and pieces this week.
Would I have read it so slowly had I not been so busy/tired? No. 😂
But it really allowed the book to sink in.
The prose and writing is so gorgeous and lush - poetic even. I used so many tabs marking beautiful passages.
Watching this love story unfold across time and space was a privilege to witness, and the twist at the end was so deliciously unexpected.
I would recommend this book to anyone - it is a wonderful adventure, and a moving love story. Mohtar and Gladstone masterfully wove an epic of ages - I only wish there was more to read!
Red and Blue were truly like dance partners, drawing us in and out of a tale that just leaves you savoring what is and also hungry for more.
Truly a breathtaking book - read it and thank me later!😉🤗

The stuff mentioned is brief and not overly graphic. But it is there, so just including it - I didn’t find the book difficult to stomach, and I am a very sensitive reader.christinewonder's review against another edition
