This was a blast to read!
The lore and cosmology in it is rich, and the writing lends itself elegantly from third to first to second person. I love the story that Jimenez weaves in this novel, and I can't wait to read more by this author! :)

The story this book tells is as dark and raw as it is beautiful for it is “indeed a love story. Down to the blade-dented bone”
There is so little to say, because this book left me speechless and I fear it will consume my mind and soul for some time to come.

Highly recommend the audiobook version, the narrator was a perfect pairing for the text and gave the entire work that extra dimension that drove home each level of the story.
