This also may not be the most accurate review, because it took me I think three weeks to get 219 pages in, and then a couple hours to finish the book.
Positives:
1. This is kind of a cheap shot, but I love the physical copy of it. The cover is beautiful, and the binding is very different, and I really like it.
2. The Prison aspect was very interesting
3. Dual POV's
4. Magic Realism (although, as I said, it's kind of confusing)
5. How it all ties together is fantastic.
I Don't Know How I Feel About It:
1. There was a very violent scene. It is important to the story- it is the story- but I still was so freaked out by it. Almost too good of descriptions.
Negatives:
1. Nova Ren Suma's writing style is very poetic, but for me, it is kind of hard to get into. I also had this problem when I read Imaginary Girls.
2. It took me over 100 pages to really get into the story. Part of that may be because I was in a reading slump when I began it, but I also didn't feel the need to pick it up until now.
3. Because it's magic realism, it got confusing at time, especially for me.
4. The ending came very fast, so I lost part of it.
