Title: What a poetic title! I also like that you explained its meaning.

Cover: It matches perfectly the mood of this collection.

Blurb: Since this is a poetry collection, I can't judge you that much on the blurb. Still, you chose to add one, which makes readers understand what you're going to show through verses.

Plot: Actually, talking about "plot" here is inappropriate, so I'll talk more about poetics. A common theme of general sadness, inability to escape fate ties each poem and gives away a dark, gloomy and melancholic mood. There are a couple of exceptions as you stated, but I like how you stayed consistent with the themes you discuss through verses and occasionally rhymes.

Grammar: I haven't seen any glaring mistakes, so good job.

Overall rate: 9.5/10

Would I recommend reading this book?: Yes. It's not only a collection of poems but also a reflection of life and matters such as self-acceptance, friendship and love.
