4.0

  • Easy read (1.5 hours)
  • Some descriptions felt repetitive, line breaks were not very impactful, and the alternative realm plotline was confusing at first.
  • So moving, I can't place why. So authentically ethnic with a fantasy side that felt metaphorical, not fake. Beautiful imagery that perfectly fits the longing for home.
