horrifyingly relatable! loved it but definitely will be thinking about it the next time I sit down to consume media and ignore things I don't want to pay attention to. This will definitely have me diversifying my reading more. Writing style was engaging and poetic and the message fell flat in a few moments but overall came through very strongly.

While the world building and politics were not really fleshed out to a level that made them an engrossing plotline, they were still entertaining enough to follow. The romance was pretty cute but I wish there had been a bit more elaboration on the way that they grew into it rather than just the flashes of change.

Gustave Dore's illustrations really elevate this poem, as they are beautiful, detailed, and layered. They add a more ominous atmosphere than can be achieved by just ones imagination in the case that you are a person who does not visualise things easily. The poem itself is also very dramatic and fun. Classic gothic stuff!!! 💜🌹

I thought that this was going to explore more of the cultural and social implications of both biological evolution and human-induced extinctions, but it was more geared towards understanding the ideas of what might have been or what things changed. It kind of felt like every other word was the author going off on a new tangent that was just mildly related to the previous ones. It was new information, but hard to follow. I probably won't come back to this, as it was a bit boring even though it was new info.
