I really enjoyed this book, it has a fantastic concept and has a lot to say about the dangers of forgetting your past, while also acknowledging the burdens of knowledge and generational trauma.
My main critique is that I feel it's the wrong length. It should have either been shorter—and just focuson the central plotline—or a bit longer. If it was longer, we could have had more development of the events that happen during a different time in this book and perhaps some more character interactions. My gut feeling though is that it should have been shorter and really pack a quick punch.
