This book was so tremendously innovative. It turned out to be an entirely different experience than I thought it would be, in a great way. While I never ended up “liking” or relating well to any of the characters, I was fully invested in their fates. The author does an incredible job mashing genres together, which led to a magical, but thought provoking story.
