This is one of the most unique, most beautifully written stories I've ever read. Something about the wildly descriptive prose and the sheer emotionality of the main characters, hit me in an intense way I'm not sure any other written story ever has. It's not a long story, but it felt so dense it took me longer than usual to finish.

What an experience. I'm getting myself a physical copy, and hoping my future reread is as impactful as the first.
