It’s been nearly a week since I finished this book and I’m still not sure what I want to say about it. I can see why this book is so widely loved and highly recommended. The setting was described so beautifully and seemed so esoteric. I had anticipated the reveal but it didn’t feel tired. 

But more than anything this book left me pondering, which is a quality I really enjoy about a book. It has made me deliberate on the importance of recording your life and existence, and finding your purpose in life. On the differences between different versions of you at different times. 

I will definitely revisit this book for a reread, and I’m going to seek out some other’s thoughts, reviews, and analysis on this book!
