This was a beautiful love story about two souls finally finding peace in the balance between darkness & light.
I think a fully fleshed out review is going to have to wait a while; This will most likely have to be a re-read next year. The prose was just so different from TFOOS that it threw me out of the story and I just couldn't recover. All of the characters felt like they were new characters with recycled names; None of them felt familiar.
For future readers: I genuinely don't feel like you need to read The Fabric Of Our Souls to understand anything in this book. If you want my personal opinion, I would recommend treating these two books as interconnected standalones. I read TFOOS ~5 months ago and I think that might be a bit too close together, so the experience with TFOOS clouded my experience with ABOPAH.
