It was beautiful but sometimes I got lost in it. The writing style was great and it’s unlike any plot I’ve read. However it’s essence did resemble The Idiot, I’m still trying to grasp onto that nature of storytelling. I would reread, I think if I could sit with it for longer than the period I was given (ticking of my uni booklist) the rating would be higher. Parts of it made me sick, check the warnings.
