This book is absolutely captivating. I wasn’t planning to read it all in one session, but pretty soon I couldn’t put it down. The descriptions of Lilancholy are both beautiful and terrifying, a sort of haunting beauty. The emotions feel so real and true. It’s enough to make you believe, even if only for a moment. And it is real, in the way that fiction so often is real. Thank you for writing this, and for sharing it with us.
