This is the best book I’ve ever read. Truly a wonderful and insightful exploration of humanity and morality. While the premise is tragic the book leaves you with a feeling of hope and warmth.

Although it was quite complex and multilayered I felt that it could've been shorter. Since it was incredibly long it was not as impactful as I hoped. Also I thought that the ending was just weird. After so much darkness and hopelessness

all is resolved with the power of love? What was that? Also the misogyny was quite awful especially during the part before the confession scene
