The exploration of love, fragile and at times violent, added a raw authenticity to the story. The book’s exploration of death and rebirth as transformation metaphors was thought-provoking. Ultimately, it was a challenging yet rewarding read that stayed with me. I would recommend this to readers who enjoy philosophical explorations of the human condition. The pacing could be a bit slow at times, making some sections feel longer than necessary. The characters, though often fleeting, felt real in their vulnerabilities and desires.
