I loved it and I'm recommending it. It's short but a masterpiece. Every minute of this is used to create this beautiful love story. I love it.

The end is my favourite. It's crafted so beautifully and with such dedication. 

The idea of a love that you take into your being so literally, unconsciously and consciously. The type of love that consumes you and remakes you into something new for you and your partner. Beautiful.

4.5

This book delivers so much more than I was expecting. The writing is beautiful, expressive. The story had me confused at the beginning, it’s a time war between two different factions, written in dual pov from the perspective of enemy agents. However, once I got over my confusion the story grabbed me in a way that most books don’t. 

I honestly can’t express how much I enjoyed reading this book.
