5.0

I picked this up on a whim on Libby and had a slow start getting into it but it was well worth the time and I'm going to be thinking about it for a long time - the emotions were evocative, the prose was wonderful and descriptive. The only problem I had was that being an eBook meant I couldn't easily flip back to gawk at all the foreshadowing every time the plot twisted (and the fact I wanted to is clearly a pro rather than a con). Even the more baffling twists felt earned once you parse what's happening which is a big thumbs up in a world of unfollowable twists for the sake of twisting. I loved this book.
