(Abridged) The writing style in itself got 2 stars 🌟, the structure of the story, starting off in the present and actually ending in the past was very clever, entertaining and a strong desire to read on haha.
Absolutely loved it.
If you love lemony snicket, then you would love this book too, as the nonsensical feel is presence in this book.
Very clean, no language
**Content Warnings **
- Murder (repetitive) but not deeply described, very shallow in description.
- Suicide (extremely infrequent)
- Guns (extremely infrequent)

Vaya ser tan solo, destinado a rechazo a causa de su diferencia, su creador le abandonó...
El aspecto filosófico que aborda el libro es sin duda alguna la soledad ontológica del ser hipérbole de una creatura que lejos de ser tan diferente en escencia se deshumaniza por su propia existencia.
Su destino está marcado y su sentencia dictada.

The monster was cute. It was the ego of the creator that was the problem. Ego is always the problem.

Very much liked her metaphoric way of writing. The story was rather depressing than spooky tho
