I found the writing to be beautiful. The use of verbs, for ex, watching shadows of clouds “bruise” the earth.

What a journey. I almost dnf multiple times but I’m so glad I stuck it out because the last ~25% is so good. Just really beautiful imagery. I’d love to watch a high budget limited series of this book.
