i was gripped by this story nearly 40 pages in. the moving back and forth between story lines/perspectives is something i love. this has a LOT of that. still, it was easy to follow!

I didn’t dislike reading it— I enjoyed the character development and world-building, but the fact that it was all out of order and time-jumpy was a complete and horrible mess and was extremely frustrating to try and keep track of what was going on at any given moment. Also I HATE knowing the end/climax of a book at the beginning, so that ruined it too.

Not an exaggeration to call it a triumph. It's an absolute gut-punch of a story, but worth every painful, beautiful moment.
