A wonder and captivating story full of rich characters that you grow to care for.
The language grew on me throughout the book and became on of my favourite aspects. While it to me felt stilted the first couple of chapters, once I became used to it, I appreciated the careful, polite tone that helped embrace the warmth of the characters and the cold, harsh world, they have to navigate.
The first few chapters were somewhat uneventful and a little boring. While I appreciated l, after the fact, the careful groundwork it lay for the relationship between the two main characters, it stood in an not entirely favourable contrast to the tense and eventful remainder of the book.
