This was an amazing book with extreme world building and characters that kept me grounded. Each chapter had something new and imaginative to add. I felt every emotion this book threw at me. I couldn't stop turning pages, gasping in horror, screaming with joy, and feeling the buzz of excitement. This book even made me laugh out loud and I don't think a book has ever done that. I loved the imagination in this one.

However, my main concern is the language, and I don't mean swear words. This book uses a ton of unknown words, some words being outdated because the book takes place in the past, but most were just unnecessarily big words. I wished the book had used more everyday and simpler language. 

In the end, an amazing book that will blow you away with its creativity but you'll need a dictionary at hand.
