Thank you to the publisher for sending me a review copy through Netgalley. This in no way influences my opinion of the book.

I was honestly so excited to read this when I saw the cover, and was even more excited once I took a glance at the artwork but ... I don't think Pistouvi is for me. Jeanne, one of the main characters, is honestly so unlikeable. I've read books where the main character is unlikeable but she really does take the cake.
If there's something I've come to learn of myself as a reader is that I am not a fan of stories without a linear plot. Regardless of the subpar writing, the art is BEAUTIFUL.
I tried to take a step back but every time I thought about reading it I just kept thinking about how much I wasn't enjoying it and I finally decided that I was just going to dnf this one.
