I was excited about this book, but it just didn't hit the way I hoped. Many of the poems felt more like stream of consciousness journalling than actual poetry. And the overall vibe was dark, broody, angsty, and depressing. It never really felt like the celebration of self that I was hoping for.

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.

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.

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.

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!
