I also enjoyed the writing style as it was written in a way that made me feel as though I was within the world of the story. Usually, I struggle with stories that have multiple POVs as I tend to favor one over the other, and I find myself wanting to skip through to get to the perspective that I enjoy more however, I enjoyed all POVs in this book equally and found that each one added an additional layer that was necessary to move the story forward. As readers, we follow the journeys of both of these characters with one additional point of view that brings us the perspective of the past, which connects us to the present.
