A tale of fragmented stories this book was an enjoyable and puzzling read.
Although it took a while to get into the style and narrative by the end I could not wait to read where the story would take me next. Each chapter was a mystery and it did not disappoint!
So much was left unsaid in a way that still felt fulfilling (specifically towards the end).
The amount of detail and backstory to what otherwise could be a plain and simple story was enrapturing. The elements of myth, folklore and superstition blending seamlessly with the core narrative, causing the story to feel even more tactile.
There must have been so much I missed upon first reading that I would not hesitate to pick up this book again.
Highly recommend!
