I say this everytime I update my page on this book, but I am just in awe. I’m speechless. The artistry of this book is astounding and my god, some lines can literally cleave you like a shining sword. UGH!!!! It’s just SO beautiful and SO original, so wholly other and unlike anything but itself. It’s just gorgeous. I adore it. I can’t even place it next to anything in my heart, it’s so beautiful. I need to

I’ve just been crying at everything lately but this book nearly broke me open again. It’s just so wretchedly beautiful. I don’t even know how to describe it. So beautiful all I can do is cry. It seems dramatic but the language is like— flowers mixed with lightning or something. It jars you to the bone, splits you in half, even as it wraps you in its feathers and makes you sigh, dream-like. I love it. That

The only thing I have to say is that I love this book. I love it, I love it, I love it, it’s one of my favorite books ever. It’s just so utterly beautiful, normal sentences within it carry such weight that it makes me cry. It’s just so pretty. So cold and wise and deeply humorous and a mix of so many odd and specific things that don’t really come together into a book very often. i’m so grateful I can

I truly have no words for this book. I just feel like I’m holding back a flood of tears everytime I read or finish a chapter because it is so utterly moving and beautiful. I literally almost cried from gratitude at being able to read this story.
It feels so.. otherworldly. So wholly itself, I just CAN’T! It’s so utterly beautiful I just can’t. I have so much more to say but just can’t.

I am in complete awe. This book is beyond description for me. It’s so… utterly beautiful. So wholly unique and just UGH!! I love it so much. I almost can’t describe it. I appreciate it in such a new way it’s unbelievable to me. It’s 1 AM and for once, I couldn’t pull myself away from reading even though I’m so super tired and even now I reallyyy want to keep going. The Red Bull just showed up. And—

What I said last time x3000. Utter poetry my god

I just don’t understand how it’s possible to write like that— so utterly beautifully and seriously and halfheartedly silly and completely, deadly precious and earnest with your language. Like a sword and a flower petal all at once: just cuts through my heart clean with beauty. I love it I love it I love it !!

I love this book. It’s so truly and wholly other. It’s so beautiful I almost started crying reading it tonight. The language of it is beyond beautiful, I just can’t sometimes. To write like that— ugh. It’s just so incredible. He must’ve eaten magic soup to make this. It’s the only way. My God. It’s just utterly beautiful.

“The moon was gone, but to the magician’s eyes, the unicorn was the moon, cold and white and very old, lighting his way to safety, or to madness.”

I think I’m having an ethereal experience with this book. Reading it over again is becoming the joy of my life. My God. This is truly one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. To see it clearly now is bliss.
