What was this! How is this a book that spans a mere few days, yet more than a few centuries?

I have no words to praise this book. Just an endless wait for the end. And the apprehension if it will be the end or some other circumspect way to the beginning? Frankly, with this series - anything is possible 

The one this I can say with certainty throughout the book, is that for every new POV, the only thing we know is the "where" and not the "when". So the collision of all these POVs is for sure not by covering physical distances, rather by covering time.

And how is it that the same book "wouldn't burn" as well as "will break the world"? Now what's next - will the book bring peace? End all the past, present and future wars? 


Ah questions and more questions...

This book really snuck up on me as I was reading it. The king-with-a-big-lie thing was a little much but I really liked the way some of the character arcs felt human and true, instead of crafted

The First Book: The main characters are super young, like children still. Around the age of 6-10. Not something I enjoy, even tho it's meant for adults. I won't continue this series.
