I had a hard time with the main characters. They needed to just sit down and talk to each other, but in a classic communication trope they didn’t till the end. Also, they needed to work through their issues and instead they just avoided them. Finally, the side characters didn’t seem very fleshed out, more like plot tools. The stakes were fairly low, and there was a lot more gore than I was expecting outside of the Pogram history.
Parts were really beautifully done, but overall the story fell flat for me. I can see why people love it though!

I didn't give it a 5 because most of the book was good, not great, but still good. That ending though moved me to tears and that is worth a high rating to me.

Chapter 38 ends in what I would characterize as a suicide. Chapter 43 describes a pogrom.lancemama's review against another edition
