I was thoroughly absorbed and totally loving the incredible world and fascinating characters that Hiron Ennes created.
It was wonderfully atmospheric and overall a fabulous read.
However, I was disappointed with the last 100 pages or so. The story was metaphor rich, which ultimately fell flat at the end of the book when the metaphors and themes were laid out clearly for the reader, somewhat spoiling the metaphor, and in my experience, taking me out of the story all together.
I finished the book because I was almost finished with it anyway, but was very disappointed.
