My thoughts
Okie Dokie... now that is all out of the way let's get into it.
This will not be a book for everyone. That is okay too because those that read and love this book will become obsessed. This book begins with the first generation and the beginning of the story. This part moved so quickly that honestly, I got a bit confused and was trying so hard to figure out why the story was moving so fast. It immediately jumped into very dark content (SA/Torture) and so it had me wondering how this would all make sense. However, once you get used to the writing style, which is absolutely gorgeous, it becomes completely overwhelming in a good way. You forget that you are reading.
It is told primarily in 3rd person, which is not my favorite writing style but for a book of this proportion works beautifully once you get used to it. The story revolves around several generations of people and it was so neat to watch how everything was connected and kept you on your toes. The vibes of this book remind me of Keri Lake's Master of Salt and Bones. That book is another book that I loved but I know not many people will. This is a book for those who find beauty in the darkness and love in tragedy.
The different type of relationship in this book was completely enchanting, and the author did a great job showing different dynamics. The world-building was absolutely top-notch, to the point I just forgot I was reading.
I am eagerly awaiting the second book!
