 considering the rising illiteracy crisis all around the world, this is an incredibly needed book, because no reading can be done without critical thinking, without asking questions, without understanding context, without challenging preconceived ideas and notions, without pushing against expectations, etc.

Whatever else, this is the only way to read: always, not just now. 

would have been a 3 stars normally, but the last 20 pages really had a kick to them

you know what? reader, i teared up at the end (we love queer joy!)

sometimes when the world feels like it is on fire, you just need to read the type of book that gives you a world that's already been burnt to the ground

2.5 and DNF 198 pages in. i like the setting, but i am not invested at all in the quest and couldn't care less about the characters. wish i loved it more but....

beautiful imaginary and some truly splendid scenes, i just couldn't help feeling.... bored (it might be a reading slump incoming though) and like something was missing. i think this would have benefited from being a bit longer
