This was super interesting but it was a little bit confusing because the narrator changed like every 5 seconds (it was told POV of mushrooms and lightening bolts at one point!)
I loved the storytelling and the myths and how matter-of-factly magical it was it was extremely poetic and lovely

One of the best books I have read in awhile. Poetic, entrancing, tragic, realistic, magical, and utterly unlike most other novels. I love the way it gives everyone a voice, even those who normally don't get a say in these stories.
