I loved this book. Its strongest point is the way the two stories evolve. It reminds me of great SFF where two storylines start out separately and then merge into a single story. I knew where the stories would meet; nonetheless I awaited that moment with great anticipation. After this meeting of the stories, the two stories diverged again, bringing each one to a satisfying conclusion. I loved the writing style and the story was very compelling. I couldn't put the book down. Thank you to Netgalley and Catapult, Counterpoint Press, and Soft Skull Press for the digital review copy.
