4.25

4.25–fun read, fantastic world-building, excellent story!! It took a little while for the characters to grow on me and around the middle I was thinking that yes, this is a solid 4 because of that. It also isn’t very fast-paced, but then picks up at the end. This was okay but I wish it were just a little faster. I really loved the world and the themes of art and creating!
I honestly think I could’ve left the romance and still kept the ending and maybe would’ve been happier with that, I think somehow it would’ve been more poignant.
Design was my fave because we love a sassy nonhuman, I’m very predictable 🙂‍↔️
