“It’s not enough to be ready to see—you have to be looking all the time.”
Summarizing this book without tarnishing its perfection is impossible, as a plot synopsis consisting of a few sentences can easily lead one to believe it’s standard fantasy fare.
It is not.
The bones of the story may boil down to look routine, but the profundity of the writing, the sledgehammer of wisdom and fancy pounding away at your head and heart makes this one for the ages.
And anything else is a spoiler.
The book must be read.
I did not know that I was so empty, to be so full.
