Beautifully written and very dark. The story held my attention even as it got darker and more violent. The character development is so rich that it pulls you through the death and destruction. It's like nothing I've read before, and it will stay with me for a long time.

This is a very good book about being alive, and experiencing the world as yourself and the people who imprint on your actions, thoughts, and memories. This is a very contemplative story that definitely has its slow points in the middle of the book, and don't let that discourage you like it almost did me, as the ending is very good and honestly is the reason I like this book so much.
