beautiful writing, i will say. a broken prose that strikes in unexpected ways.
however, the plot fell flat to me. almost 200 pages and i just kept waiting and waiting for something to happen. just for it to be left unresolved. and while the writing was beautiful, it often distracted from the story. reading it became tedious and i wish i was able to enjoy what others did of this story.
perhaps it’s my own misunderstandings. but i wish i’d had more than flowery imagery to cling to
