The prose is absolutely beautiful. When reading this book the pace of the language really helps the story along. It’s such an effortless read. Each part of this book is about a different part of the war and the emotions I got out of this book, they were heartfelt and broken. It’s so good. I really enjoyed the love story with Tav and the language of this novel. I feel torn. Usually in books the writing disappoints me, the writing in this book was amazing. But I felt like the plot of the book itself was rather slow and got stuck a few times. I’m glad I read this book, I loved about the first 75% of the book. Compared to many of the YA/fantasy novels I have read this is pretty good.
