LovedI think I thought it was going to read more like a classical romance but it's a lot more philosophical and at times like the dream like exposition of it at times made me feel like it was almost a magical realism book. It's the rambling inner thoughts of a man who is a romantic at heart it's poetic it's philosophical it's beautiful so it's definitely worth checking out and I had a really lovely time reading it.
LovedI read this quite a few years ago now and it is my favorite Dust ofi book

MixedI had really high expectations for it that just obviously white Knights did not fulfill my expectations that's not to say that it wasn't enjoyable it was but I did just give it like a 3.5 star rating
