A really interesting concept that is executed fairly well. The book just felt a little unfinished to me, but I'm not entirely sure what I would have wanted to be done differently. Seeing all of Oona's life would have been impossible, but I was just longing for more. I think her growth was steady and well done for most of the book, and then it felt rather abrupt toward the end.
Still, a very good book. Oona is fascinating, and she's surrounded by such interesting characters. I find myself almost longing to go back and reread but chronologically to see Oona through their eyes. Really fun and well-done.
