This book is a work of art.
Zeyn is so talented at weaving together multiple timelines and building character relationships that feel almost too real.
There is so much hardship in the second act of this book that I had to set it down and come back to it over a year later, and I’m really glad that I did.
The ending is so satisfying, it truly feels like being carried all the way through to a soft landing after turbulence is b a plane, or the slow float of a boat onto a sandy beach.
