Even though it is a short book it felt dragged out. It just wasn’t holding my attention so I chose to drop it.

A fantastic quick read that blurs the lines of reality and fantasy in the similar vein of many authors such as Gabriel García Márquez. The story is frightfully real, and the illusions it weaves are as skillful as any magician casting a spell. There is relief as a decades long battle with humanity’s streak of goodness against a backdrop of evil culminates after a 68 year long penance.
