wry, witty and dark. it combines different writing styles such as the macabre of gothic writing to the romanticism of poetry to create a literary gem

Very imaginative premise with dry wit and cunning that was really entertaining however the second part of story became tonally unsound and a bit chaotic because of the numerous underdeveloped story arcs.

Immersive story telling that provides the reader with the feeling of escapism. Deeply imaginative and very empowering representations of different demographics. I was a bit disillusioned by the melodramatic romances and the plethora of story arcs. Also I believe some of the events that occurred seemed out of harmony with the story and were simply included for the shock factor.

Deeply harrowing and psychological.

Very enjoyable read with immersive story-telling but ultimately too many clichés that made it hard for me connect with the characters and numerous story arcs that left many characters underdeveloped but to it's credit certain characters that mostly sat on the sidelines were explored more in this novel.

Very touching and light-hearted despite the serious plot. The romance developed in a believable and engaging way. Beautiful ending that really resonated with me.
