Utterly stunning. Showstopper.  

But fr tho, this book had me from the first page. The writing is incredible, and the description was detailed without being exhausting. I can honestly say that I loved every minute of it. A few "unknowns" were pretty obvious to me, but I still enjoyed the journey. Would recommend

It was well written, I loved that this book was written with mute character. As well as how the other characters interacted with her. She was sassy, curious, and compassionate. I loved the story, but I'm still trying to decide if I liked the ending.
