The only crime in this book is that it wasn't longer. I adored this so much and am surprised by the average rating.
Now, I feel the world building and plot could have been stronger if this was a full length novel, but as is, it wasn't bad. It felt easy enough to follow along. I'm sure there were probably plot holes, but I didn't notice any.
I do know there were a lot of people that hate the ending, but I really, really loved the ending. I felt it was poetic in a way. I'd love to see a sequal that is 10 years later.
February 2025 UPDATE:
Still love this book. Still wish there was more. Still cried at the end EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THE END.
