I think this book is mainly about change and growth and I quite enjoyed it. There are some parts that are so beautifully written I just had to stop for a second
I think the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the pacing, I think it doesn't follow the usual conflict-climax-resolution arc and instead there are a lot of conflicts throughout, which for me made it so that by the last couple of chapters I was more ready for the story to end, to give rest to these characters.
I look forward to reading this again eventually because I have a feeling I might change my mind about this
Also, I can't help but compare it to the song of Achilles and for me that book is better, the story hit harder.
