The pacing was very weird. The author really took his time on some portions of the book which did not turn out to be essential, and then powered through some really complicated stuff.
Spoilerthe whole time travel thing was ok when they were visiting other places as ghosts, but it got really confusing towards the end when Livira gets trapped as the assistant
. There was a good twist which I enjoyed, but I don’t think I’ll be continuing this series.

This book made me feel stupid. I enjoyed the mystery and cycle of everything but the slow pace and philosophy was a bit beyond me.
