I simply don't have the words to do this novel justice. It's beautiful chaos; you have to let go & immerse yourself in the story and you'll find yourself following the threads almost without logic. This is a story of connection and longing and want. It's intimacy and love across space and time and sides of a forever war. It's easily the best love story I've ever read.
It hurt me and inspired me and I can't stop thinking about it.
“I want to meet you in every place I ever loved. Listen to me. I am your echo. I would rather break the world than lose you.”
“I have built a you within me, or you have. I wonder what of me there is in you.”
CW: death, violence, blood, body horror, torture, suicide, animal death, war, grief
