I loved this book. The best part was the giant spider. I love spiders.

This book had so many original concepts that I would give it five stars on a scale of five just for that The concepts range from what might happen after a first contact with another world to string theory to glimpses of Chinese culture. Those with a science or math background will absolutely love this book. No such background, like me? No problem - this books gives you a glimpse into the China of the Cultural Revolution and the suffering of its citizens during those turbulent years. I highly recommend this book, which is the first book of a trilogy.

As an adult I am sad to say I had never read this book before. I loved this book it is quit riveting a real page turner. I just had to know what happened next. For the time period it is set in the caricatures are very unique. They are all very interesting and have so much depth you almost feel as if you are with them. This book made me laugh, cry, and even gasp at some points because there were unexpected things.

Adored this graphic novel & moving on to the rest of the series. :)

Loved it

I originally picked this book up based on the cover and the idea of two juxtaposed characters. They are sisters? One is a redhead, one is a pale blonde? One sister is a queen and one has powers? Sounds kind of like Frozen! I loved the idea of this book but the characters made it hard to love. They were very flawed and constantly questioned themselves and their “power.” I typically enjoy the theme of “coming into ones powers” but these characters struggled to ever do that. They also were consistently thwarted by older people and listened to their elders for most of the novel instead of standing by their own decision making. In the end it was a good story and I will most likely read a sequel if they have it but I wish the characters were a little better. Maybe in the next book!

Made you think about how we impact each other's lives.

Love love love anything Emily Henry and this was no exception. Had me in tears due to the easy relatibality of the characters and story.
