I couldn't put it down but it also took me quite a long time to read. Reason being is it's heartbreaking and joyful in equal measure. ( end chapter 369 re Dori ) There's not one character that isn't intricately drawn. Even those you'd be drawn to dislike are so compassionately and skillfully woven that that's not where you go. If you think about it, how skillful is that?
Demon and his loved ones are still very much alive in my heart and head. Not sure their going to leave any time soon. Thank you Barbara! Ps if it ever comes to a film, Demon's song is Weird Fishes.
