I wanted to stick with it to find out why it had such great reviews and I agree that the story was good and the author is very talented - but I would have DNF'd this due to the pacing and pointless in depth insignificant details throughout the first half of the book if not for my insistence of finding out what happened. I loved the details at first but it reached a point where it made me mad because although the authors writing was captivating, it just kept going and going and going and it lost its appeal. The book didn't need to be 500 pages long.
I'm glad I'm finished but I'm resentful about the pacing and will be giving this book away.
There were a lot of characters involved in this book but I was only really interested in the Armstrong family.
I'm really glad the ending was well wrapped up and I feel complete.

I’ve fallen in love with the characters and can’t imagine continuing life without them. I’m actually grieving finishing this book.
The writing was so beautiful. I loved every minute of this book.
I’ll admit it was abit tricky keeping up with everybody’s different stories because of the multiple POVS? (I think that’s the right term) however these are my favourite type of books, I love piecing it all together. It kinda reminds me of the starless sea (which I also loved) but if you found yourself not enjoying them maybe this book isn’t for you.
