Really great but I wish the ending explained a little more about some concepts from the beginning. I'd recommend this.

I forgot why this book was so good until literally the last 2 chapters. Very slow going and character driven for the whole book, there’s a sad and mysterious tone that makes you wonder where it’s going. Then once you hit chapter 22, there it is and it’s all worth it and it all makes sense. The last 2 chapters are heartbreaking and bleak and leaves you with all the themes and questions to think about what went on from the rest of the book.
