Longest book I’ve ever read (by far). Beautifully done, especially the infinite loop from start to finish. Generational trauma is a focus; how ancestors’ decisions, experiences, and oppressions influence the present.

A one-of-a-kind reading experience, truly an epic read. I have never read a book anywhere near this long, but completing this was immensely rewarding. This type of story could only be achieved in 900+ pages and I’m so glad I didn’t let the size scare me away. The story and the characters were incredibly captivating from start to finish.
