It was a challenging book to wrap my head around, because the entire book is told from a perspective wildly different, and i spent every other sentence trying to realign my view of the world to match the characters. It was a brilliant book in the way that it asked me to do this very seamlessly and it was very thought provoking for this perspective shift. Loved the book overall and had a very interesting message at the end.
