5.0

This book is a masterpiece. It’s been years since I’ve had the chance to read it but after coming across a reel in Instagram I decided to seek it out.

Characters- 5/5*
Beautifully fleshed out. So much so that at time it’s very painful. I just wish I could give Kaden a big hug but I doubt that would do much good. Every character is so deep (pun intended).

Conflict- 5/5*
I don’t cry when reading books very often. I cried. I don’t know how Shusterman is able to put it to words so effortlessly but it was exactly right.

Plot- 5/5*
It shouldn’t have been that enthralling but it was. I did not want to stop reading it. Not even to get my sleep.

Setting- 5/5* 
Well developed and cryptic when it needed to be. The way he blended the two world together was seamless.

Theme- 5/5*
But it’s not going to happen today—and there is a deep, abiding comfort in that. Deep enough to carry me through till tomorrow.


Overall Score: 5/5⭐️

Read this book it is to good to not read.
