5.0
This book reminds me of an epic poem. Every line is carefully crafted to convey such raw pain, beauty, horrors, and love.
This book was recommended to me so I didn't fully know what I was getting into. The story has supernatural elements that act as a coping mechanism for the main character.
I would highly recommend this book.
*listened to audiobook narrated by the author through Everand
