What’s it with books in this genre and cats —are there always cats ? I should look this up.
This was okay! I would have liked to get more world building, though. Without getting into specifics (so hopefully this makes sense if you’ve read it, but if you haven’t it might not), I never really felt like I was fully grasping what was going on over there. Over here, sure, and it was great.
I’m about to start Seasonal Fears, set in the same universe apparently, so hopefully I’ll get more of what I was looking for in that!
Here’s a memorable-to-me quote from my read (not a spoiler):
“He wishes he had a way of telling them that they can be part of transforming this new place into an old one, that sometimes being the one who etches the lines in the façade is as important as choosing something already weathered and worn.”
