Critic reviews
‘Her fiction is a breath-taking piece of a cinematic art itself. Reminiscent of the world we experienced in The Matrix, Inception, and Dark City, still it leads us to this entirely original structure, which is a ground-breaking, mystic literary and cinematic experience. Indeed, powerful and graceful’
Bong Joon-ho, Oscar-winning director of Parasite
‘These stories will break your heart, then lovingly knit it back together again’
Marina J. Lostetter, author of Noumenon
‘She created a world that Hollywood will never be able to imitate’
Han Song, Galaxy Award-winning author

Enjoyable and emotive if longwinded
I absolutely loved I'm Waiting For You and On My Way, two gorgeously heartwrenching stories about a couple longing to be together but pulled apart by time and fate. Those chapters were broken up in the middle by The Prophet of Corruption which, while laying out an interesting premise, felt like it dallied around a little too much for me, becoming repetitive at times. Overall though, a really beautiful, mindbending audiobook, brilliantly performed by the narrators.

Beautiful stories that made me long for more
Being able to capture the despair of longing and the drive that fuels it was such a beautiful thing to read.
