The prose? Evocative. The landscape? Harsh and fleetingly beautiful. The story? A testament to human resilience and hope.

This novel is a journey—one that everyone should take.

Set in a world where the line between past and future blurs, the story follows several different perspectives, all through a lens of survival. The characters� depth and versatility shine against the ever-changing backdrop, embodying endurance in the face of overwhelming odds.

I couldn’t exactly pinpoint where in time the story fell, but ultimately it was irrelevant—the themes are timeless and universal. The spare writing style starkly captures their world yet enriches it with sensory detail, creating a contrast that kept me engrossed from start to finish.

The interwoven fables lent a mythical quality, transforming the narrative into a profound cautionary tale of survival, loyalty, and the quest for a better future.

TL;DR: This novel is a masterful blend of evocative storytelling and poignant themes. If you want a thought-provoking, emotionally charged literary experience, read this book.

Thank you to the publisher & NetGalley for the early review copy!
