The Heart's Invisible Furies

every book should end in the fashion this one does.
the second half is monumentally better than the first. the remainder is both blessed and (more so) cursed by the youthful idiocy of our protagonist, which works to an extent but just ended up as an annoyance. while the converging plot threads and extreme levels of drama made it feel like something out of a soap opera, the second half is honestly beautiful. gave me “a gentleman in moscow” vibes and that's like the highest praise I can give a work of writing. it still has its flaws but damn good book :D
