very late at night so quick review: absolutely loved this book! i’m not too fond of the subject of war when reading, but I thoroughly enjoyed natalia’s journey to understanding her grandfather’s life. his past was beautifully written and I was very drawn to the magical characters - the deathless man, the tiger, and the tigers wife. also loved how some of it was written from the animals’ perspectives, it really transformed the storytelling (and I was very emotionally attached to the tiger and his wife!)
