mmmm.... I liked this well enough. It's a lot of the kind of thing I don't necessarily enjoy...? Sweeping family saga, confusing magical realism and all that.

I think I also had a bit of an attitude problem about this because I had to read it in a rush for tonight's book club. I think it is a book that would probably be better savored in small bits, rather than crammed in over a weekend.

Also I think it took a hit for me since I read it right after [b:Blue Lily, Lily Blue|17378508|Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Cycle, #3)|Maggie Stiefvater|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1398366292s/17378508.jpg|24170141], which I LOVED SO MUCH.
