This one sat on my shelf for ages, and I’m glad I finally picked it up as I was craving a doorstopper.
Yes, it’s long—and at times it feels long—but I wouldn’t cut a page. As the first in the series, it needs the room it takes: the scope, the darkness, the ache, and the slow unfurling of its characters. Trimming it would ruin it.
If you’re up for a slow burn with richly developed characters and a story that lingers, move this to the top of your TBR. The pain, grief, and beauty are all there, and the writing makes every heavy moment worth it.
