"In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun"


This book broke me. It's amazing. It's heartbreaking, it's.... Phenomenal. I am speechless and this is the best book of 2023 so far. I don't usually get emotional with books and I cried at the end of this one, so.. I think that speaks for itself. It's... A work of art. Amazing. Just... Breathtakingly tragic and wonderful.
