I read along with the audiobook. I don’t typically love the last few chapters of books, but this one had me rapt until the last sentence. It ended at the perfect time, all hope and wonder, but I also wish it had gone on. I also recognize the book would have ended badly if it had. So, 5⭐️ doesn’t seem good enough, but it’s what we have. Best read of the year so far.
