I just finished the book, and rated it four stars. Here is my review:Unpopular opinion time: I didn't love the story. Sure, I liked it, and I think the concept is incredibly fascinating, but the pacing was a bit too slow for my liking, and it could not always keep my interest. There were also a few too many women-degrading lines, which of course can be explained with the timeframe it was written in, yet at times, it annoyed me slightly.
That said, I absolutely adore the writing style and I have highlighted so many quotes that it would be impossible to pick a favourite. A few of the ones I love most, though:
Was there anything so real as words?
He lives the poetry that he cannot write.
A dull rage was in his heart.
