Good easy read! I had to read this for college but i feel like its more high school level reading. That doesn't change the fact that this story was FIREE. It was one of those where you forget you're reading and look up and realize an hour has gone by. Definitely a lot of Harry Potter inspo (a little bit too much tbh) but really great descriptions of the Leopard world. The writing felt a little bit juvenile like it was a fan fiction and the romance was very forced without any build up. But I would recommend this book, but its not good enough to read twice.

This movie was shot SO beautifully. The actors were amazing and the color pallet was just so memorable and beautiful. The plot, not so much. It felt like the writers were trying way too hard to force a political message down our throats through the whole movie. Yet, even with all their efforts, there was never really a clear message that came across. They spoiled the narrative by trying to do something they didn't even succeed in doing. Even if there wasn't that political weirdness, the plot just doesn't make any sense. Its such a shame such great cinematography and actors were wasted on such a terrible plot.
