This novel-in-verse invokes a dream-like sense of wonder. I loved the diverse characters, and the particular focus on a throuple relationship. But, like a dream, I found this book a bit disorienting. And I lost the plot on occasion.
A novel-in-verse that explores both OCD and the societal expectations placed on gender.
Great, thought-provoking pieces. All of the poems are dark and unsettling, to various degrees. And many had profound revelations that really made me pause and think. Deep and intelligent writing that isn't overly esoteric.
A fantastic, well-rounded collection of poetry, made all the more vibrant by the colorful art. The art was such a delightful accompaniment that I'm now convinced that all poetry books should be accessorized with art. It enhanced the whole sensory experience.
I was delighted to come across a book of poetry fitting for the Halloween season. All of the poems contain appropriately fitting themes for Halloween. And with a little deeper delving, they also contain lessons for life.
Unabashedly candid poetry. It took a minute for it to grow on me, but by the end, I was in love. The poems really resonated with me.
Fantastic, exciting, engaging, with beautiful evocative imagery. This book celebrates womanhood, with a particular emphasis on the tribulations that accompany it. Dark and angsty vibes. Superb storytelling that exists somewhere between the magic and brutality of fairy tales and real life.
Glorious and poetic language. However, the writing is challenging and esoteric. There is a lot to decipher—filled with metaphors that need to be unpacked. Quite scholarly and probably best suited for those who have a strong background in mythology.
Beautiful writing. Fluid and evocative. These poems invite thought and contemplation to distill their essence.
This compilation of poetry addresses the torments and tortures of being a woman. There is no sugar-coating or romanticizing here. Everything is raw, brutal and real.
There are some great poems in this book, some of which absolutely resonated with me. I was particularly fond of the one that made multiple allusions to Dungeons & Dragons—D&D nerds unite!
