A bit scattered but some sweet moments.

here's the dungeon
here's a ghost
yes, I know
but I'm trying to sleep”

Was so intrigued by this story, and did enjoy the poetic writing and overall premise (listening to the audiobook almost felt like dream). At times, however, I wanted more story development and consistency as we bounced around characters, time periods, etc.

“Living is not as easy as they all make it seem. It is not as simple as breathe in and breathe out. It is not as simple as sleep, eat, work, repeat, sleep, eat, work, repeat. It is not as easy as they all make it look. You made it to today. You made it this far, well done you, and thank you. Thank you. Thank yourself. Thank you.”

Not what I expected at all but Wow!! .. Thought provoking, brilliant, moving, impactful and beautiful!
Loved it!

Not for me, was disappointed since I didn’t know there would be verse and was told it was a fantasy (which isn’t the book’s fault).
