I found this book really educating at times, and because of the rich mysticism and cultural references behind it, i would love to say i really enjoyed it, and i've really been thinking about writing this review, but i just found myself getting lost so many times. it could be because of course i needed time to reflect on the tragedies i had just read, but sometimes the fantasy was too much, and i wasn't able to connect all the plot. overall, i'd say there's many things to learn from this book, but focus is highly required and therefore i might reread it in the future.
