I almost put this down about 4/9ths of the way through. I stuck through it though because I wanted answers to the mystery and overall, I'm glad I finished. My favorite part of the book by far is the poetry. There truly is some beautiful prose and the cover art is wonderful. The overall context of the story fell flat for me. I wasn't really invested in the characters. The main driving point to the story is the mystery behind Arthur's grandfather.
This being Samuel Miller's debut novel, I'm interested to see future works.

I really enjoyed this book and found myself pulling it out to read every chance I got.
I really like the ending and found myself wondering if the brother of the grandfather was actually the grandfather (far-fetched, I know!)

Beautiful writing, the storyline was a bit convenient, but it was something I was able to look past. I would definitely recommend this!

Absolutely flew through the last 200 pages of this book.
Inspiring, heartwarming, and heartbreaking all at the same time!
Also hella props for all the thought-provoking and quote worthy lines. Definitely a book that someone can read over and over and get something different out of it each time.

Assååååå? Denna blew my mind. I början var den svår att komma in i och jag kunde inte riktigt placera den. Sättet den var skriven på confused me. Men ju långre jag läste desto fler pusselbitar föll på plats och det som uppdagades i sista delen av boken knockade mig totaaaaalt. Detta är en av de bästa böckerna jag läst då den berör så mycket saker jag uppskattar.

This book was so great! I wasn't expecting to like it this much since I'd never heard of it, but it really blew me away. I loved the poetry and how we don't know what's going on with Arthur until the very last chapters... and I really didn't see the ending coming!
I recommend this to everyone. Literally, everyone should read this. Like right now.
