This book fascinated me. It's beautiful and intriguing, but I feel like I missed a lot of things that made it so great. I debated between 4 & 5 star ratings because I think the story and writing deserve a 5 but I enjoyed it at a 4. Maybe on a re-read, going in with better understanding of what's happening, I will love it more
