I loved "Vanishing Birds" and saw this as an immediate buy. Vastly different but just as well written. I'm not a fan of 2nd person narrative, at all, but I made allowances for this one simply because I trust the author as a storyteller.
The book is not something you pick up and put down, nor does it have traditional break points. You need to be committed to seeing it through with as little interruption as possible. The story demands your full attention. That said, I really liked this book, it's a dimensional fantasy that is both heart wrenching and touching. A brutal and beautiful story.
