I really really loved this. It set a higher standard of maturity and quality for me that will now make it even harder to like other books, but it is worth it of course.
The only thing i really didn’t like was the repetitiveness of getting multiple characters’ POV for one event that happened. I still think Miller did it better than most other authors that do it, and sometimes it was really strong emotionally, but there was too much of it for sure.
The first time that I've read death in a book and not only felt sadness that made me cry, but an actual anxious panic in empathy for the grief of the dead person’s loved ones.
