The rating comes purely from how beautiful this book is. The writing and scene-setting are gorgeous. The characters are heartwarming and real.
Maybe it’s because the book sets the plot up somewhat as a mystery, but that fell really flat for me. There’s no twist, so don’t go into it expecting one. It’s blatantly obvious what’s going on, but since it reads like we’re supposed to be in the dark like everyone else, the narrative felt patronizing.
I stand by the fact, despite disagreements from friends, that it reads like God of the Woods.
