I know a lot of people feel very differently about this book for an array of reasons. I personally was able to gain my own interpretation from it that made the connections between each character and their world feel stronger to me. The ending also felt satisfying because of this reason. I think the hardest thing to get behind was the world building. The language is lyrical and it is vague. I wasn’t sure what kind of world the author was trying to creat and it was extremely confusing to understand where we were at in genre because of it. I had to cling to that house for dear life cause it was the only thing I was able to grasp tangibly.
