The story is exquisitely crafted—I felt really connected with the characters and immersed in the setting, so much so that when I put the book down after I finished, it was jarring to come back to reality. Also, the pacing was great. Nothing felt rushed but it was still a page turner (I read it in less than 48hrs). Would def recommend and read again—this book has the potential to become my new comfort book.
