I enjoyed the writing style (as i did for juniper and thorn), even thoigh i found it yet poetic, which i guess was a better fit for the themes of this book. As usual, i loved the feminist themes of the book, and i found the love story engaging and believable. Nonetheless, the plot itself was a tad predictable (especially due to the heavy foreshadowing). I enjoyed reading the book and I found the wordbuilding quite well constructed and believable. And as usual, a lot of great one-liners.
