2.5

As Marcial Gala's first translated book into English, this book manages to sustain his authencity. But, while in the whole book he attempted to work out what to do with many different elements he wanted to put into the story, all the different POVs presented fail to make a coherent plot. It's messy, hooping back and forth with no clear intention, and regretfully bland.

“It’s always like that. Childhood makes us what we are.”
