This is a bit of a difficult book to review, as the phrasing and language are unquestionably beautiful, however, it was very challenging to get through. The plot was original, but the source of the originality was also the greatest issue I had with this book, which was that, rather than focusing on fleshing out any given character into which the reader could emotionally invest, this book focused heavily on world building. It was refreshing, in a way, as this is an uncommon approach, but it is hard to get motivated about reading something you can't empathize with.
