Not to be dramatic but this is one of the best things I've read and I feel like a different person than I was an hour ago when I started it.

I don't always retain the details or plotlines of books I read, but I don't think I'll physically be able to to forget this for the rest of my life. Rent free in my head, in a good way and bad way.

I'd like to note that I'm literally sobbing on my bedroom floor as I write this out so take that as you will.

Favourite quote:
"This time, when I push my face into the pool, when the water fills my mouth and floods my lungs, I am smiling. They will never sing my name."

So much emotion was packed in the 30 pages. The writing is beautiful and lyrical. I felt like I was there standing next to the main character and her squire. The ending, wow wow wow. The ending gave me chills.

time loop stories are always a bit of a mindfvck for me, and the six deaths of the saint is no different. what differentiates this one, however, is how short and concise it is, yet it still packs quite an emotional punch. the saint and gwynne's story also ends up being surprisingly touching towards the end, and the former's character development - albeit over centuries - is great. the externalities arent overly highlighted as the story's so focused on the saint's inner life, but it's def an interesting one.

There are no saints. And love is a tragedy.
