I liked how the story was told from 3 perspectives of the same ancscetral line, and all culminated in the end.
I think the political undertones of this book are relevant in today's society, which is a sad truth.
Overall, I enjoyed the plot and the character development. However, at times, it did feel tedious, and I found myself wanting scan over parts in order to get to through the story.
I would recommend it, as overall, it was an enjoyable read.

However, it taught me predominantly two things:
- I must stop getting seduced by gorgeous cover art
- I cannot stomach stories about misogynistic physical and emotional abuse 🤷🏻♀️
