Whenever anyone asks me what my favorite book is, this is the title I give them.Â
I first read this book so long ago, were talking over a decade, and I still love it just as much. I appreciate any story that helps me forget that I am a cynical, bitter bitty, a story that wraps me up in an ethereal, emotional hug. This book is that.Â
The writing style is gorgeous; the way Domingue describes the âbetweenâ and how souls linger, interact and affect the real world is so believable. Itâs clear she researched the language and concepts she used to illustrate this world because I didnât question it, it made sense to me.Â
The timeline jumps all over the place but in a very intentional way. I never felt jolted out of the story, I never felt lost. The way the story unfolded felt calculated and organic at the same time. I felt like I was genuinely along for the ride.Â
All of the characters are likable and endearing, I felt specifically drawn to Razi and Amy, no surprise there Iâm sure.Â
I could go on but I will let this book speak for itself. I have recommended this to everyone for 10+ years and will continue doing so. * the audiobook is available but it is abridged so keep that in mind before you decide to read in that format *
