This book is so good it made every other book I’ve read recently seem worse by comparison. This book is so good I had to stop reading and screech at the sky at least once every three chapters. This book is so good I briefly considered a career change to become a geologist, or at least getting really into crystals. Don’t be put off by the second person POV; it’s not the whole book, and besides, it’s so well written that once you get used to it you’ll wonder why you ever had a problem.
