Challenge complete, in the absolut broadest sense!

I chose to read , which was garnered with botanicals on the cover.

“All stories are good stories if you find the right listener”. And I, in all honesty, probably wasn't the right target audience for a literary read such as this.

The concept was super intriguing and the prose throughout was absolutely lovely, but - I just didn't get it. The overall story arc had a certain ebb and flow, but I often felt stranded on an island, trying to get with said flow. Plenty of characters were sort of hard to keep track of, nevermind relate to. I had troubles keeping all their story lines straight and constantly felt like I missed a turn somewhere, ending up entirely elsewhere than the characters.

It is by no means a bad book - it's just me that wasn't the right reader.
