I loved this A LOT until the last quarter. I didn't have a problem with the open ending, but I felt like it was building to a big reveal that never really came. By the end, I felt like I'd missed something. Maybe that was the part of the point? Who can say. Apparently not me.
Power's prose is so good (it's like, moist. It's so vivid that it's moist. I apologize if you're reading this and you hate that word, but that's the only way I can think to describe it) and the vibes were fantastic though. I'm gonna read whatever she writes now.
