mysterious sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.0

it was a bit difficult for me to get into this book, but the POV was quite interesting. a very different culture than what i’m familiar with, so certain parts were informative.

The narration was very stream of consciousness, but unfortunately it wasn’t for me. However, something I did appreciate from the novel was how it lingered in my head and gave me things to think about afterwards.
