Just going from the summary and the themes I knew right away this book was a likely candidate to become a new favorite if it did right and you know what, I'm so glad it all came together BEAUTIFULLY and didn't disappoint. The gorgeous prose, the imagery, the use of time travelling, the yearning of it all... My only complaint is that I was left wanting more and would've liked a more closed ending but hey, that's not enough for me to deduct points because I had a blast reading this.
