I was incredibly intrigued by the concept of this book, and I certainly kept on turning the pages, but ultimately, it was a tad too slow for me and lacking a certain bite or fire.

The writing and translation were both beautiful!

I definitely recommended it if you love reading mysterious, dystopian fiction.
