This story is loaded with classically tragic themes. It’s beautifully and often painfully told. While the author’s efforts to bring about symmetry feel a little bit forced at times, the plot twists toward the end take the story in unexpected directions.
The descriptions of culture and setting are fascinating, and the story and characters are powerful.

Listened to this on audio that was read by the author, which i felt was a really nice touch and his voice was easy to listen to. It also ensured that I would not try and mispronounce the names.
