4.0
A lyrical science fiction novel with a steampunk aesthetic that will appeal to readers of both YA and adult spec fic who are looking for something a little different and more poetic, and to those wanting to add more sci-fi to their diverse reading list!
The prose in this book stole the show, while the plot was convoluted - as a book involving multiple lives and timelines is wont to be - and a little confusing at times. Even though I didn't always know exactly what the characters were up to or why, I couldn't put this book down and found myself enjoying the characters immensely. I only wish there'd been a little more blatant explanation as to how the planets and the whole script thing worked.
