This book is 4th published but 1st chronologically, which was interesting, and I was not disappointed! Shinn‘s writing is so transportive. She doesn‘t write fast paced stories, but her settings & her characters just effortlessly draw you in.

But reading them spread out like I‘ve done I feel like I‘ve really been able to enjoy them all.

“You are the thought,“ he said very low. His head was bent down; his eyes were closed. “You are that place. You are that voice.“
