This was an interesting read, written in a style that took some getting used to. Descriptive, twisty, intelligent writing. The heroine is quite a character, and her backstory plays a big role in the story.

I quite liked this. Not your average read.

I received a complimentary copy of the novel from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I devoured this as an audiobook and immediately want to read it again with a physical copy in my hands so I can highlight all the expertly drawn prose, atmospheric tension, and figure out how Heaberlin managed to so expertly weave the threads of plot and balance the unanswerable mysteries of the universe with hard and gritty reality.

Dearest Julia,

Please please please write a sequence! I'm not done with these characters yet.

."Emotionally complicated" was how the author described her main character, Vivvie. She was right. Trying to follow Vivvie's actions and trains of thought was exhausting at times, even without the psychic aspect of her personality.
All of the main characters were complicated, drawn in.shades of gray, which definitely made them seem realistic. It's too bad so many of the secondary characters felt like one-dimensional people in comparison.
