Ok, so I started writing my review for this book and it ended up becoming more than 1,000 words (and counting because I am still not finished. My god) of me talking about how I personally connected with the book and deconstructing themes. 

So I am going to spare this book's review section of that monstrosity and instead post it on my neocities website! Hooray...

Anyways, TLDR this book felt like it was written for me. It dealt with themes of grief, immigration, colonization, and love in complex ways. I loved it a lot and went a little crazy from it!!! I had a few issues with the pacing and unnecessary complexity of the word choice, but the core of the book is so dear to me. 

Loved it. Must-read for those who love reading about the Franklin expedition.
