“When you love a thing too much, it is a special kind of pain to show it to others and to see that it is lacking.”

Loving the style of this series - using stories, fables, oral histories, and mythologies to give us a glimpse of the surrounding world and relay the themes. It's incredible powerful and the author does a fantastic job weaving engaging, well-crafted stories in such a short space.

I'm currently too tired to write a longer review so to summarize: this was good! I liked it. It held my interest from beginning to end. I'm still not connecting with this series quite as much as some people, but I do think it deserves all the appreciation it has gotten.
