4.0
Not what I was suspecting but delightful nonetheless! Tia Williams’ writing is so beautiful and her characters are so rich
Around the 50% mark, when the direction of the plot was revealed, it wasn’t difficult to see how the story would play out. But the beauty here was in the journey, not the twists.
I am not generally a fan of insta-love, but Ezra and Ricki had enough of the star-crossed, fated feeling that I didn’t mind it as much as I normally would. There was still that undercurrent of pining and longing that I love most
This book is magical realism done well. I’m very interested to see where future books set in this world will go
