I was so excited to get this #bookmail this week! I preordered it, but it shipped before the release date, so I was completely surprised. I need to find the time to focus on it, which is hard to do at the moment. But soon, yes…soon.
so-soBeautifully written but this didn‘t work for me. We flit between characters & timelines so it feels more like a story cycle - it lacks the satisfying narrative of a novel. We only scratch the surface of characters & their stories. The love stories are all sweet in contrast with the war scenes but felt contrived or unreal. Stunning, economical prose. It just didn‘t quite hang together for me.
pick"You've seen the tiniest things make a difference." I need to remember to pair this book with Stillwater and Koo save the world. ?
"Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light."
