A really great book once you get into it. Almost like a 200 page poem. I recommend to not try and figure out the storyline straight away, it sort of unravels itself as it goes along. You will probably be confused at first but it is worth it.

Writing at times seemed to be over-meticulous and caught up in sci-fi exposition; extremely well crafted but to the point of almost non comprehension for the first half of the book. BUT that being said, beautiful, creative, i cried. LOVED the use of motif.
