I really liked this book for the most part, it is a very easy read, the language is beautiful at parts and some of the twisted Henry's thoughts make sense sometimes, but well even if he is evil he is a very interesting conversationalist.

I wanna give a four because I feel like execution was lacking especially at the end, I feel like the resolution wasn't enough to cement the themes. The characters were also a bit dummy thic which maybe brings some frustration to me.

I think it shows that the author did not like realism and I do like realism so dhdnsjsjs lol. I do like the aesthetics, but it would be even better to me if they were combined with a more satisfying conclusion.

These characters were so gay, I guess I read the censored version, but it's so hard to believe that they did not start kissing each other or smh while talking the way they did.
