I really loved the writing style of this book. The blend of imagery and storytelling had me fully immersed. I couldn’t tell whether or not I liked the ending - in some ways it was cliche but also had twists that I wasn’t expecting. Overall, I think the author had me in the palm of her hands and easily guided me towards the conclusions she wanted me to make.
