“I would live alone for 50 years to have one day with you.”
This is my new favorite book. Never before has one novel left me feeling so fulfilled without desiring more. Shannon wrapped every single story up in breathtaking grace, from the reclusive, once-spurned character, to the lovers who cannot be together physically. Every ounce of exposition served a purpose and not a word was wasted. A story not just about saving the world, but realizing who and what the world is made of. I genuinely cannot recommend this book enough.
