Really amazing idea for a story. It makes you believe it all because in some strange way it’s all logical.

It’s different from most stories I read but I loved the theme of everyone being connected.

3.5 stars. Good, but not great. Riveting, but also unsettling, which is not good or bad, but true.

This one is hard to rate. It's got all the qualities that should make it a 4-star book, but there was just something missing... I didn't really like or empathise with any of the characters, and I feel like it could have been shorter, dragged itself out less. I'm leaning towards 3.25/5 stars. The writing was gorgeous and the story was well fleshed out and intriguing, but I just felt like there was something imperative that had been left out.

Reincarnation always interest me. I didn't know this book was about it with its title.

I liked this book. I found that it the story moved along and it was in interesting topic. Not one that I have really thought of before.

Started very strong and compelling, but lost steam somewhere in the middle. The writing also got clunky in parts, with the author repeatedly telling us how the characters felt-- the same feelings repeated with a new metaphor --instead of showing.

It is also surprising that nothing about the blurb or Goodreads genres makes it clear that this is essentially a religious / spiritual novel. I actually didn't mind it, but I feel like some readers could be disappointed if they don't realise that.
