Incredible, as expected of Aliya Whiteley. Her mind is so powerful, and she has so much talent. A review from me wouldn’t be able to do it justice.

This story starts out slowly and to be honest, I found myself questioning just where the author was going with it. But, boy am I thankful that I stuck with it. I will definitely be trusting this author's vision in the future.
I loved The Beauty by this author and while this one wasn't as impactful to me personally the story was still beautiful, memorable, and just the right side of bizarre.
The short story that's included about female adventurers discovering a mysterious island, was also really great.
I highly recommend this author's work and I will continue to check out her writing in the future.
