The writing was wonderful, and I really liked the symbolism within the story. I can understand why it is loved by people! It's just not what I usually read and I didn't really enjoy it for that reason, I think. Which is why I've given it 2 stars.

I originally picked it up as the authors next book (The Thirty Names of Night) sounds really interesting, and I wanted to see if I'd like their work before their next one was published. As it is, I'm not sure if I'll read their next book now or not!
