3.0

An excellent story with beautiful prose that is perhaps a little too opaque at points — it’s often a little difficult to figure out what’s actually happening, and although this is likely by design, it does get in the way of grasping the emotional stakes the book is attempting to lay out. It is nonetheless enjoyable and often moving.
