Great ideas but a bit too many that didn't connect properly. Also couldn't get over that the main character didn't really care about architecture but was the first woman to be accepted into the school to study it. Feels like that needs to be someone's die-hard passion to even be considered for it.

This book will stay with me for a long time. I keep thinking back on it. I was very very annoyed with the main character due to her passivity, but you were supposed to, so even though I want to give it a 4.5 due to my unliking for the MC. She needed a stronger end.

Beautifully strange language.

Would've given a 4 if the characters weren't so stiffly written. Barely any character to them. Plot was fun though.
