3.0
Lyric, gorgeous prose
Dreamlike, surreal imagery,
Lots of cool ideas
Yet, plot meandered,
Slow! This should have been shorter,
Some parts really dragged
And the characters
Just kinda wandered around
And nothing drove them!
It is fine if a
Character is static, but
They have to want things!
Too many ideas
That I don’t think connected
As well as they should
If it was just a romance
That would have been fine, but that
Also didn’t work!
I wanted to love
this, but characters felt stale,
And plot did not work
I usually like
These kinds of stories,
With meta ideas
But with this story,
It couldn’t come together
And felt pretentious
I think you could tell
This kind of story real well
But this wasn’t it
