Too long
The story premise is good, it just took too long to tell it. I got tired of the story’s elaborate and repetitive descriptions of emotions. The setting changed often between paragraphs with no transitions. Night to day, winter snow to rain, snowy day, but wind rustles leaves. Was it weeks or months of wandering and searching? It needs a good editor to lay out the story line and untangle the threads and delete the repetition. I skipped the last several chapters to get to the climax. Then the ending chapter, taking place a few years later, is repetitive and has a tangled time frame. I doubt I will read anything else by this author.
