The art was pretty and the plot summary I read made me interested. I also liked the setting and variety of characters. 

It felt a little meaningless especially around parts 3 & 4. I just don’t think I really connected with any of the main characters nor was there much of a real plot. It just kind of felt like things happened and then moved onto the next part.

this didn’t resonate with me like i believed it would. due to the stop and start of each portion due to laila’s deaths my investment in the narrative was slashed, and i had to start all over again. i think the emotions it was attempting to stir within the readers was largely inaccessible for me during the majority of this book, until perhaps the last quarter, where everything came together perfectly in my opinion. i only wish the earlier seventy five percent was as cohesive.
