In Roy’s book, she uses beautiful sensory language. That is what stood out most for me. For, when I write poetry or pros, I try and use as much sensory language as I can. It is a beautiful way of writing and expressing thoughts in a less obvious way. For me, the combination of words in unusual order is incredibly important to writing, it adds feeling and mood.

In this particular book, she gives everything a personality. When describing the scenery and the buildings, she uses incredible language to give each object personality and emotion. I think it has an effect on the plot. Since the language draws you into each word and each scene, the plot is happening in your mind, rather than on the paper. The use of sensory language in this novel is very successful.
