Theo, the love interest, is less clearly characterised and I would have liked more depth and development of him as a character. We get some of his history and motivations but I still felt we had some blank spaces there. Among the vowel symbols, Modern Greek sound values reflect the radical simplification of the vowel system of post-classical Greek, merging multiple formerly distinct vowel phonemes into a much smaller number. This leads to several groups of vowel letters denoting identical sounds today. Modern Greek orthography remains true to the historical spellings in most of these cases. As a consequence, the spellings of words in Modern Greek are often not predictable from the pronunciation alone, while the reverse mapping, from spelling to pronunciation, is usually regular and predictable. The Coptic alphabet adds eight letters derived from Demotic. It is still used today, mostly in Egypt, to write Coptic, the liturgical language of Egyptian Christians. Letters usually retain an uncial form different from the forms used for Greek today. The alphabet of Old Nubian is an adaptation of Coptic. When the Greeks adopted the Phoenician alphabet, they took over not only the letter shapes and sound values but also the names by which the sequence of the alphabet could be recited and memorized. In Phoenician, each letter name was a word that began with the sound represented by that letter; thus ʾaleph, the word for "ox", was used as the name for the glottal stop /ʔ/, bet, or "house", for the /b/ sound, and so on. When the letters were adopted by the Greeks, most of the Phoenician names were maintained or modified slightly to fit Greek phonology; thus, ʾaleph, bet, gimel became alpha, beta, gamma.

The Greek alphabet is divided into 24 letters, including 15 single consonants, 2 double consonants, and 7 vowels. Each letter has a specific sound. The first letter of the Greek alphabet is alpha and the last letter is omega. Some scholars believe that the first letter of the Greek alphabet was a symbol similar to the Roman numeral II and called alpha. Other scholars think that it was a sign meaning “sun” and that later became alpha. Can you see what the artist did there? It also has a powerful religious meaning within the context it was used in the Bible verses when God made the statement “I am the Alpha and Omega” as in “I am the beginning and the end of everything”. The author deftly explores love, loss, and second chances in showing readers the journey towards self-love and self-actualization.
