Absolutely wonderful story. It is at times unbelievably dark and grim, and then at other times almost magical in it's beauty. Jimenez's unique style gives the reader insight into the world the protagonists travel upon, by allowing us to peer into the thoughts and dreams of others. This book covers many themes. Love and War, Greed and Hate, Honor and Family, and many many more, as well as the marriage and intersection of these themes. This book explores the history of a fictional world from the past, the present, and from somewhere entirely in-between. It is dark, complex, and beautiful, and I couldn't recommend it more than I already am
