“This was the first mosaic narrative I have read, and it was crafted so flawlessly! I never wanted to leave the beautiful and fearsome world Harris built, and the twists and turns continued to surprise me again and again. The numerous characters were each so magical and memorable. I would love to hop in a time machine and be able to read this book for the first time again.”
