I'm conflicted about how to rate this book. The writing was very beautiful, almost fanciful, and I liked learning about all of the characters. Jack and Vivianne's story was, by far, my favorite. Objectively, it deserves a 4 star rating from me, but something about the way the story unfolded, especially towards the end, left me dissatisfied. A few of the characters didn't progress in a way I'd hoped they would, and eventually I reached a point where I couldn't enjoy reading about them. Overall, though, it's a very lovely and atmospheric novel. I'm glad I read it.
