MY GOD. I can't remember the last time I was this invested in a story and its characters to the point i was SO FUCKING STRESSED more than half the time!! Natasha Pulley is a MASTER at weaving apparently disconnected threads and building an environment of such ANGST and quiet EMOTION I had to put it down at intervals because I was getting too worked up to read straight. She did time travel SO WELL and that is super hard. Jesus Christ what a ride. Cried my freaking eyes out at that ending out of sheer relief and happiness. I LOVE THEM SO MUCHHHH
