5.0

Reva weaves tales of fable-like proportions into an amalgamation of a meta-fable, meta-plot. Each can be read independently of the others and yet once read as a whole, it is impossible to not see the interconnectivity that seeps through every sentence, every word. I came away loving the characters, holding them somewhere within my own consciousness and watching them form, play and be. An absolute must read at any point in time and a must read for this point in time we face now.
