The women of this book deserved so much better. Everyone, who is relatively important, here is so painfully white, cis and het (men). The descriptions of sounds were beautiful, I will give him that.

vittorioseg's review against another edition

It was such a downspiral of uninteresting suffering and lukewarm victories. I just felt stressed out when reading it and I realized that I was forcing myself to continue because of the hype. And it didn't live for it. The character didn't came as witty or intelligent. The world didn't come as fleshed out. And the prose was, for me at least, nothing to write about. I just couldn't enjoy this book, at all.
