A lot of the time, I struggle with fantasy novels in verse because I don't think they give enough room for world building or character building. While I loved the concept of this book, there were some points where the story was a bit difficult to follow because it was told in verse. There are some lyrical, wonderful moments, and the story itself wrestles with some dark, important subject matter. While the book wasn't a hit for me, I can see it connecting with other people.
