I usually don't do fantasy, but I'm a sucker for books about immortality/characters living a really, REALLY long time.

This was my first V.E. Schwab book. The writing is smooth and lovely, and the storyline is painfully beautiful.

I did get a little confused on all the bouncing back and forth between time periods, but that's probably just my fault and hopefully you can pay attention better ;)

I liked this book very much. It was a unique premise and enjoyable story. The beginning is a bit confusing, but once you get into the rhythm, it’s smooth sailing. I would agree with many of you that parts could be a bit long winded, but even in those parts, I still enjoyed it and it kept me interested.
