The first time in all my 20 years of consuming media and fiction, I actually cried. The plot was beautiful and so carefully crafted, every foreshadowing and callbacks felt real. The relationship between Ambrose and Kodiak is something i would could never describe without ruining the book integrity. I have never experienced something so raw and real as this book, it made me reflect on the struggles of the earth and just made me feel. For the first time I am feeling, and only feeling. Thank you world for giving me this opportunity to read this book, thank you.
