Enchanting, hypnotic and atmospheric, this is a tale you can get lost in, the writing is utterly enthralling however at the same time it's also very slow. When I say its hypnotic I mean it in a way that it makes you want to drift off to sleep and have a very vivid colourful dreams... Not stay awake and keep reading to all hours of the night (for the first two thirds at least). 

I did have to go back and re-read a number of chapters in order to fully understand what was going on. I'm not sure if that's was due to the multiple POV's being so different in how they where written? I only seemed to struggle in Yejide chapters, and more from a perspective that I wasn't sure if what she was detailing was truth, a tale once told or her imagination... 

Its a beautiful exploration into death, and beliefs, and how in making your own path in life you can be at conflict with yourself and those around you. The romance was subtle and felt more like two people trying to find the balance and doing what is right without loosing themselves in the process.
