Author has a really poetic writing style that I respect, just couldn’t personally get into the story itself. Dragged on quite a bit.
I’ll be honest I didn’t know what was going on majority of this book, I did skim some chapters.
I wanted to know more about this other world that they were insinuating. 80% felt like filler/ rambling, & 20% went into the actual premise. I would’ve liked to not hear about the character’s pasts/traumas/etc, & rather go into finding out more about this unknown species. I actually found that portion very intriguing, & wanted to know more. The premise itself was incredibly eerie, but this book DRAGGEDDD. I had trouble keeping myself awake for this one. 
With all that said, this book was hard to rate - as I wanted to rate it 3 stars for an interesting premise & a great writing style.. But this fell awfully flat for me I’m afraid. Really didn’t enjoy this one, and would’ve Dnf’d to be honest if I didn’t need to get this read for a book club. I know some people adored this one, but it was too draggy for me & not much honestly happened reflecting back on it.
