The book was written well but not something I would typically go for. Very slow, not much action. There weren’t many huge plot points that kept me on the edge of my seat and I had to read the last page to keep me motivation read it.

Omniously Beautiful. Never have I ever read something like this. Probably the most gorgeous dystopia I've ever read. It carved a hole within me. Very very sensory in its storytelling. The world and aesthetic the story is set in, the emotions are immaculately wonderful.
