[Adelyn Garcia · Rating 3 out of 5]

A strange yet imaginative piece that I enjoyed reading, but ultimately felt disappointed with the “perfect wrap-up” ending. With a novel that takes such deliberation when entwining the characters and their narratives, one would expect a better, perhaps unconventional ending.
