So so sad after finishing it. I didn’t Expect that they would all be connected because they die.
incredibly well written the characters stories are all so interesting and their voices were all very distinct. I’m actually feeling rather devastated. I wish I could say more. Amazing book.
I think there’s so much symbolism and so much said. The way the characters all have similar thoughts and make analogies with themes that are connected to the im wondering if there’s a connection between the point of view the characters are written in and their outcome. It makes me think maybe 8 is not a good number unfortunately. I’m really sad.
borrowed from the library and I might buy a copy.
