Reading the book was a mixed experience, oscillating between fascination and frustration. The work explores profound themes with elegant prose, but at times suffers from lengths that slow the pace. The author seems to vacillate between different narrative directions, making the plot at times predictable and disjointed.

The characters, while well-developed on the whole, sometimes lack emotional depth, making it difficult to connect fully with their dilemmas. The relationships between them are often ambiguous, leaving the reader searching for answers that are never fully provided.

Yet there are undeniable moments of brilliance. The visual descriptions are particularly poignant, capturing landscapes and feelings with almost photographic precision. The exploration of philosophical and social themes is also admirable, offering introspective reflection on contemporary issues.

In conclusion, while the book is not without merit, it fails to maintain a consistent narrative coherence or elicit deep emotional engagement. Readers looking for an intellectually stimulating read may find it to their liking, but those seeking total immersion in a story may be disappointed by its imperfections.

Thank you NetGalley & the publisher for allowing me access to this ebook.
