I loved it. I loved every part of it. I loved how the characters/ chapters flowed seamlessly into each other

I liked the way the book was told from different Points of View. You will need a family tree to reference during this book, trust me on this.

A beautifully written, thought provoking book everyone should read. My only criticism is that I wish we could have spent more time with each of the characters.

This book was incredible. I normally find books where the narrator changes each chapter jarring but this was incredibly written. I felt attached to each and every character and sad to them go but I loved the through lines. Beautifully written and poignant. Very easy to get into.
