Alexa, play aisle unto thyself my miracle musical…

No but seriously, I don’t think I’ll ever read something so moving again. The language is beautiful, and the story is a great balance between action and emotion. The only reason that I took a star off is that the characters as a whole feel a little flat. They’re interesting, but they don’t change much. If the two main characters had just overcome something important, I would’ve given it a five star.
