Sehr inspirierendes Buch. Die Geschichte ist eher träumerisch beschrieben, was es sehr angenehm zu lesen macht.
Spannung ist nicht wirklich da, aber es ist so interessant, dass man einfach neugierig ist und weiterlesen möchte.

This book was an interesting kind of parable. it has plenty of moments that will stick with me for a while. i enjoyed how the author captures different point of view and didn’t let the story get so big that it couldn’t maneuver itself. the theme was really captivating.
