DID NOT FINISH: 68%

I literally care so little about this book. The only reason I made it this far is because I have a beautiful copy and felt obligated to finish.

Shocked I didn't love this more. This style of poetry is so difficult to read that it just didn't connect for me.

Could do without the interwoven fan fiction, I just don't think it added to the story at all. If anything it took away from the characters.

I did not guess a single correct thing in this book, and to me that's a good sign of something inventive and new. Everywhere my mind went, this went a different direction. I appreciated it and enjoyed it!
