slow-paced

2.0

This one had some good moments or scenes where the hairs on the back of my neck were triggered, but ultimately, it was too sprawling in PoVs and timelines for me to really sink into it. The book felt more like it covered these lives in breadth but not depth and that's never my preference. I did like how there were historical events and people interwoven in the book, that was well-done.

This is such a hard book to review. I buddy read it with a friend (Abi of Pellinor) and I loved discussing it with her every 50 pages (why no chapters...) 

There was so much promise in this storyline and the first 1/3 was great. I was so intrigued by the horror and darkness of the plot and characters. I think it got lost somewhere in the middle and by the end I was losing interest and the ending was lackluster to the darkness of the beginning. It didn't need to be so long and by meandering the impact of the story was lost. 

I will say however the author did a fabulous job with the levels of representation in this book. LGBTQIA and disability rep all throughout the book and woven so expertly into the story that the characters felt real and were well developed.

Please give me more fiction with history, occultism, and queerness. I struggled reading this--a balance between binging and lingering on each chapter, each page. I still have questions but maybe they are never meant to have an answer. It was beautiful, haunting, and layered. Selfishly, I want more from this world, this undeniably tragic yet enchanted universe.
