This is a beautifully written book and it never failed to impress: the imagery, themes, and characters were incredible. In fact, the novel was written in a way that it didn't matter it was a sequel: I picked this up without realising it was part of a short series, but it honestly doesn't matter which order they're read. Each chapter can almost stand alone as its own short story, which I loved, and yet, they all seem to find a way to link with each other. Highly recommend!
