The prose is so incredibly beautiful and lush, every word felt like poetry. The world the authors create is so fascinating, I would’ve loved to see the politics in a full length novel. The way the two characters communicate between these abstract sort of letters is also kind of unbelievable. I am obsessed with the way everything just clicks towards the end, even though I couldn’t quite tell where this was going I loved every second. It’s truly a love story like no other. And probably the most unique book I’ve ever read.
