I wasn't expecting such a profound or dark story. Normally dark stories don't work for me I'm just not comfortable in that kind of world, but this felt more profound than dark.

I am particularly impressed by McGuire's character work.

The whole vibe of this book is stillness. I just finished reading it and I feel... still. And deeply thoughtful - which, considering that is the theme of our current narrative character is very impressive. I can't wait to read the others.

I'm experimenting with a new review system that rates 4 key categories on a 1-10 scale and rounds down into a star rating (adapted from the CAWPILE system by Book Roast)
