4.5

This book was so beautifully written and the story was heartbreaking yet compelling. The fantastical elements of the story were grounded in the raw, deeply emotional, and unfortunately perpetually relevant realities of our own world. From page one, this book captured my attention, and I read the whole story on the edge of my seat. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone looking for an immersion, poignant, and deeply original fantasy novel.
