!!!! Cannot emphasize this enough. Smith is a firecracker and this book is so important (and special! the pacing is probably the best of the quartet. it’s quick. whiplash/back and forth like spring. beginnings/endings). holy shit

Like it better than Winter and Autumn purely because of the last third of the book. The last 75 pages were amazing! My rating would be higher if the first 250 pages were at the same level.
Smith tries to say so much by saying so little, and in my opinion it doesn’t work for her-it just ends up being a confusing story with nothing happening plot wise. I didn’t like most of the characters. I don’t know what it is about Smith’s characters but I never like them
