Reviews
On Oct 5 2022, a reader said:
I really enjoyed this book, but it wasn’t the easiest to read. The format of a poem and its commentary revealed the story, rather than being told in a linear narrative. The story jumped around a lot and you really have to be present while reading, otherwise you will get lost. I read from start to finish, however I would reread it and try jumping around a bit to see how it changes the understanding.
