I really enjoyed this, more than I expected to at first. The pacing is slower than I usually like, but I think it worked for this story. It’s difficult to describe without spoilers because it’s just a very unique story. I would definitely be curious to read more from this author, but only when I’m in the mood for something slower and thoughtful.
