I Listened to this on audio in one day! 

Based on the synopsis, it’s a book I normally wouldn’t read but so glad I did. The story explores difficult topics through a unique metaphor. I think it’s a book all people should read, especially young people.
The Characters are well written and although it’s dark there is a sense of hope. I loved the magical elements and the narrator did a fantastic job!

I also loved the storytelling and the book is very well written. I did have a hard time following at times but I think that’s because I was listening to the audio. I Absolutely love this book and I’m starting the month off strong!
