The writing in this is everything. Beautiful prose and perfect structure to keep you hooked. I could not put this book down when I read it. The ending is shockingly bleak but it feels right for this book. Overall, excellent a beautiful book that I had a fabulous time reading. 

Edit: actually I would 100% read this again 5/5
