I'm glad I finally read it, it was recommended to me by my classmates when I was 15. Took me some time (I'm 24 now) but I see what all the hype was about.
I am still not sure what I can take away from this book but it was definitely one of a kind. It gave me George Orwell vibes for some reason.
I marked multiple passages because I found them so beautiful and poetic. What I loved most about it is the world building, which kinda makes sense even though it doesn't make any sense. Sometimes I could see the images so clearly in my head, I wanted to draw them. Maybe I will in the future.
I hope I'll find time to reread this book again.
