I rated it 5 stars. The prose is complicated and intricate, and everything could be a quote. The writing itself is an art, with a style that I haven't seen before. This book is telling the story in a pretty unique way, that I loved. We get several POVs from different time periods, and it was woven so well. I can't explain how much I loved this writing style and prose, it felt like I was reading poetry.

I was worried that I would get lost early on, but I had no problem reading this. The book also has no chapters in the first 100 pages, so beware of that. I truly can't explain the writing style, but it feels like a play? You'll have to read it yourself to understand, 'cause I can't explain it. 

This was marvellous. I would definitely recommend this book, and it's a standalone as well - so no commitment to a series.

And just so you know - this is a love story.
