This book was over 500 pages, and yet when it was over my gut reaction was that I wanted to read more. The world-building was rich, the characters were compelling, and the themes present throughout this story were very beautifully explored. I was caught off guard at first because the writing is in second perspective, I was quickly able to adjust and appreciate how this stylistic choice made the reading experience even more immersive and emotional.
