This was generally a good read but I think I could have enjoyed it more if I'd read it at a different time. Whereas I found the first half of the book engaging, in its exploration of depression and millennial melancholy, the second half fell a little flat. I was expecting or hoping for more of a resolution - or perhaps just a different resolution.

Moderate: Suicidal thoughts and Abandonment

I really enjoyed the time spent explaining the decision to move to Nyx, and hoped for more on the consequences of these choices on those who were left behind. Perhaps even a brief epilogue from the perspective of someone other than the main character would have given me greater satisfaction. I felt I wanted more of a twist or explanation towards the end.
