For me personally, the story dragged on a bit, which is why I'm deducting half a star, but I'll probably be thinking about the story for a long time to come. You live through several lives in the course of the story and sometimes wonder where the journey is going. But in the end, everything comes together. Simon Jimenez has a very special way of expressing himself when he writes, which already impressed me in his other book The Spear Cuts Through Water.
