This is the most wonderful book I've read in quite some time. I read the whole thing in just over a day and it's certainly the first book that I literally couldn't put down since they pandemic damaged my attention span. I can't say much about the story without wrecking it. This story was strange and beautiful and I want to read it about a dozen more times to investigate the complex tarot of symbols it seems to encompass. There is an echo of Narnia here that I loved so much, and certainly an element of Alice Through the Looking Glass... But it is something completely different too. I have never in my life read a book like this one. Just go read it. Seriously.

Characters: 1/5
World: 2/5
Plot: 3/5
Writing: 2/5
Fun: 2/5
If I wanted to sit down and get super philosophical about this book I could, and it probably would be interesting. But I just don't really want to. The pacing was very slow, and I did not care about the characters. (Again, if I was going to get philosophical, maybe that was intentional but...meh)
