This is probably my favorite book at the moment. The way the story unfolds is so interesting and complex. Each character had their own stories even if they weren't the main character and it was tangible. Its definitely a bit long winded and takes a while to pick up speed, but I don't think it would've been as impactful for me if it was fast-paced. It left me with so many conflicted emotions in the best way possible.
