I liked the book’s message of breaking away from generational curses and trauma. The characters are all distinct and their lives are mildly magical. This book would have been more interesting though if it wasn’t for the super long-winded descriptions. There was too much telling instead of showing, and it made it difficult to keep track of what was important.
