- This book has been getting a lot of buzz in literary fiction circles so I needed to check it out for myself to see what was up.
I put up various book-related videos when I can :)

Just finished this so was glad to see you'd shared your thoughts! Agreed that the writing was beautiful. It took me a while to get through and I think some of that was what you pinpoint--those side plots and dream sequences interrupting the tension of the main storyline. I don't think I quite got the ending! Read it twice..
I picked up the book, and after the first 20 pages, I am ashamed to say I did not understand it. I was a little apprehensive about the overarching theme of death in the book. But such a fantastic review!
I know what you mean about the narrative structure. I really enjoyed it tho tbh, made me read it and digest it slower than I would have otherwise.
Bravo! You stated your thoughts in such an eloquent way. I just uploaded my thoughts- we shared similar thoughts on some things. Excited to look through your channel 😮
Thank you!
I just finished this book earlier this week and loved it. I loved Cyrus and Zee, but wished Orkideh’s story had followed a different ending. The writing is beautiful ❤️
Same! Just curious what you meant by different ending. Don’t want to add spoilers here, but that was the part that was let down for me.
Thanks for your thoughts. I've seen this everywhere but had the feeling it's more hype than actually for me.
Thoughtful review! Definitely will think about this when I get to my copy!
I have a signed edition... got a present. I unfortunately did not enjoy this book at all... even though like you've said the language is beautiful.
