Good story but very predictable at times. Loved the writing style, though. The sentences were beautiful and a joy to read. The plot was unique so points for that.

Edit: Taking the rating down to 3 stars as even though the prose was beautifully written, the characters were not my favorite. I need strong characters to like a story (no matter how unique it is).

Addie doesn't really grow as a character. She keeps wanting to leave a mark when she has left a mark in the world on so many people who in turn have preserved a part of her in their art. Why so immature?! You've had 300 years.

Also, happy endings. Also, not shipping the villain with the MC (as that seems to be a trend). This book's ending is basically what would happen if the Darkling and Alina had become a thing so wtf to that.
