I started off this book unsure. I wasn’t sure why we were following the characters we were or why certain information was being given. As you flash between them all and the different times it all weaves together. The storytelling was stunning in such a way that left me amazed. I felt such emotions walking along these characters and their experiences. I will forever think about this book.

An absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous book. Haunting to read after 2020. I loved the twisting timelines and perspectives and finally seeing all the connections form and play out and pass. I want to know everything about this world and every single character.

I know I’m late to the party, but I really enjoyed this book. It gave me a different perspective on life and how humans cope with difficult situations. The interwoven stories of the characters was beautifully done.
