I have never read anything like this before. I mean I'm not even sure how to describe it. Each book is from a different person's POV but those POVs are spread out across centuries. You get to experience this world for centuries and how the consequences in book one affect things throughout the rest of the series. I thought the inner struggle of the characters throughout this novel was just amazing. Plus there is a lot of representation here. I mean I have never read a book written from the prospective of a blind person and it was absolutely fascinating. Plus the whole Darr society taking the patriarchy and flipping it on it's head?! I loved the prospective and hopefully it will provide some insight for people reading it. The relationships between characters is also so interesting. The fluidness regarding sexuality and gender. The reflection of self. It was so captivating.
