5.0

poetic in a way that was hard for me to grasp at first, but i also rarely read anything that's written in that way. not fully chronological because sometimes you learn new things that weren't mentioned before. really beautiful and dark at the same time. i don't think i got everything i could have the first time around so may have to reread eventually. interesting how gender wasn't at the beginning and became more apparent later on. but also was interested because i often see people write about Ada using they/them pronouns but in the book i think only she/her was used? idk.
