The choices this book makes to convey the nature and lives of any person in the direct surrounding area of our main characters is so well thought out and insanely smart. Literally blown away by this story

50% through and an infinite amount of things to say. I have literally never read a book like this before. a love letter to storytelling and family and the fate we are given and never chose, but always make beautiful. Insane. Reads like i’m watching a movie. I have not shut up about this book to literally everyone I know.

This book is taking me a little longer to read but please note it’s because this is a beautiful behemoth of a book that bids you to constantly imagine the world around these characters and how it moves. and it’s absolutely incredible

Was hoping to finish this before end of the year but i’m gonna need to take my time with this bad boy. it is spectacular and I don’t think i’ve scratched the surface of what the book actually is yet.
