I wish I wrote this when I finished this book a week ago. I remember loving the world that was created and loving the imagery of the pattern, but feeling like descriptions of the world were done hastily and events heavy with context unknown to the reader quickly followed. I wanna read the rest and I think I’ll go in the order of the time they were published!
