This book is effortlessly beautiful. Gorgeous writing that flows so perfectly and reads like poetry. Not only is it a fantastic story but the level of craft in El-Mohtar's prose is immaculate. I cannot emphasize enough how much I adore her writing. I love the written word and I always get giddy finding absolute gems like this that turn words into art. Absolutely cannot wait for her upcoming short-story collection!

The production on the audiobook is also gorgeous. It is a fantastic experience.
