I found the concept interesting. However I felt the storyline was slow and took a different path towards the middle especially with the themes such as the violence and suicide. Towards the end the change in themes caused me to lose interest and I never finished the book.

Very slow and there is a sense of sadness the whole way through. The writing was very engaging and kept me reading the story. I wouldn’t say it’s fantasy. There is one element of magic but is not explored much.
