A story within a story. At first it was hard to understand the second story within the story, but once it begins to unravel a bit and connections are made, it was a well written interwoven narrative that leaped between times, locations, and cultures. Very fascinating.

“i told her about you” (January writing in her journal) Addressing the diary?
I also hate the “and then he forgets everything” line of plot, because it serves no purpose. Like Samual and Jane just could have been further behind, waiting for her. or in jail. why erase memories? Also why not write “he remembers”

This was an emotional adventure. I enjoyed the use of a story within a story to provide multiple perspectives. Harrow knows how to leave you looking for magic and beauty in every moment after reading.
