This was a really interesting read for me. I found it really hard to be fully invested in the story until around chapter 9. Once chapter 9 hit, I was sold and couldn't this book down.
Part of me wonders if maybe I am just not smart/academic enough to full understand what was happening throughout. The angels were really throwing me off. I understood the part about the monsters, but the angels coming out of the painting had me a bit confused.
Overall, I believe this story packs a huge punch and brings an interesting spin on some extremely heavy and important topics. It may not have been the book for me, but it is one I will remember and likley recommend.
