I didn’t cry because the book was sad, I cried out of just pure emotion. Of being seen. Of feeling love. Of watching others in pain and being helpless to stop it. Of finally getting confirmation of your feelings being reciprocated.
It’s such a beautiful telling of a woman being loved by a being who knows her and is fascinated by her as a person. Who sits back and just marvels at her from afar. While she goes off and learns of deep sadness, pain, and love as she shifts with the world around her.
8 Centuries. EIGHT CENTURIES of history and growth and love. And as the reader, you feel those 8 centuries as they pass.
And I’m waiting for the audiobook of book 2 to come out. The narrator did such a wonderful job I can’t imagine inhaling this story any other way.
