A bit of a difficult read, filled with raw emotion. The world is very cleverly and well built. The language is creative and poignant. I was uncomfortable for much of my time reading, but in the way that I was so deeply immersed in Frida's story and the school. Truly brilliant.
My only criticism is how slow the beginning of the story is. I felt it took up too large of a chunk of the entire story.
