This book started well, dragged through much of the middle, and had a bunch of quick turns at the end.

4.5 stars round up. This book is beautiful on multiple levels - the vivid imagery, character development, depth of emotions… The impact of both trauma and love (and not just the romantic kind)…. The only reason I wouldn’t quite say 5 is that it was a bit drawn out so that by the time I reached one of the pivotal scenes it felt a bit unbelievable/anti-climactic - or like maybe it didn’t get the full space it deserved? Still processing this book so may change my opinion on that later. Definitely a great read with incredible writing.

I was immediately captured by this book from chapter 1, and could not put it down. Incredibly well written and the character development is excellent, though it is devastatingly tragic on so many levels. Fair warning, it's gonna make you feel all the feelings: humor, sorrow, rage, and hope - it's all there.

I thought that the first half of the book was slow but then after that it pick up. I love how the author describes the different scenes and the world building was great.
