Disliked

did Hyperion really do it for me no unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of this but that's due to some very specific personal preferences one I rarely like collections of short stories and like I said that is heavily what this feels like in my opinion

Liked

but what I will say is I ended up appreciating the writing style one because it is very beautiful but more so because I think it represents the book I think it represents that somewhat whimsical feel and also this book has some extremely heavy topics and themes and I think that this beautiful writing style was a way of not romanticizing it but making it so that we could talk about these heavier themes without it just feeling like a giant bummer

Mixed

I think that RF Quang definitely has a very gripping writing style I think she definitely immediately creates an investment for the reader in RINs story but a downside for me as Rin is pretty much it with the story it's not a story where you get a lot of different characters you basically just are with her and I started to find Rin a bit frustrating at times
