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

There's nothing I would actually critique on this book. The ranking is due to my difficulties understanding the language of the book. I'd probably need to read this again/in my mother tongue to actually grasp the full complexitiy on all levels of it. Therefore I also lowkey struggled with being committed to reading it.
PS: I would have never thought I'd find such intense, all-consuming love letters in a sci-fi book. Especially written in such a way that I might consider wether I'm actually too cynical for stories with romance focus.
