I’m not sure what I can say that as not already been said about this masterpiece! The scope of it, the characters, the anger and rage and heartbreak, the locations, the magic, the tower, the incredibly beautiful prose, it is breathtaking.
I should have read it sooner, I am completely in awe of Rebecca’s writing. Read it and be astonished.
