One of my favorite kinds of writers, the kind that can make anything both beautiful and ugly at the same time, and has no qualms about doing so. I did not see a lot of the humor that other reviews have mentioned when reading this (though the comical absurdity of many of the situations was apparent), but this detracted from nothing. A writer that is not afraid to string you along, knowing that the pivotal moment will be well worth the worldbuilding, character development, the beautiful time spend in the world... that is an incredible thing, and available in spades here. Absolutely gorgeous.
