This book was not really for me, but it wasnt bad. I think I maybe woulve liked it when I was younger. I just didnt really enjoy the characters very much and I kind of wasnt on their side.

they didnt really seem to care that they killed someone, I mean there were times when they "felt bad" but they also kind of acted sort of blase about it and that just made it difficult to forgive them.

I felt more sympathy for them by the end but I still wouldnt really say I was on their side.

Definitely confusing at first, if you have a book with a glossary in the back and the list of characters its very helpful to read through those a couple times and refer back to them throughout the book to help keep track of everything. Otherwise a very good book, lesbian necromansers in space is a pretty good description of it

I thought it was pretty good! It didnt have anything "wow" about it, but I found it generally immersive and I liked all of the characters. I found the ending slightly lacking but I didnt not enjoy it. I just wish I knew exactly what came of them.

N/A to the question about if the book is plot or character driven because I dont think the book is driven at all. I dont think there is a plot and the characters dont do much aside from walking around and doing things that normal people do. I kind of feel like I just read about what some 16 year old kid from the 40's did for a couple days. Nothing really happened but I didnt give it one star because I thought the way it was written was sort of enjoyable and entertaining. I might even read it again some time just for that reason, kind of like dumb reality tv. It's pointless and it doesnt make you feel anything but its sort of fun anyway. They only parts that seemed worth something were the parts where Holden was with his sister

This is the second time I've read this book and I think I loved it even more this time. Its really beautiful how the author draws all of the characters together. The edition I have has a graph in the back of the book that explains how all of the characters are linked and I think it was really cool. Its so sad, though, like really really sad

I almost didnt give it five stars because of the inappropriate age gap between a couple of the people in relationships/ fooling around. I just dont think its appropriate for a

senior in high school to be fooling around in any way with a freshman

but I gave it five stars anyway because the writing is really good and it made me feel a lot of feelings and I like books that make me feel a lot of feelings. I just think it would have been better if the older characters were maybe sophomores instead of seniors or if the younger character was maybe a junior instead of a freshman.

only didnt give it five stars because of the

inappropriate age gap between Kya and Tate when they first started talking. I think the book would have been better without that. Tate knew it was inappropriate, he even told her at one point that she was too young
