The depth of detail drawns you in with descriptions of such clarity that cause images appear in the readers mind of their own accord. There are parts that need reading carefully to gain the full meaning or you could just reread the book later. Every time I read it I find something new, some new detail or scene, that I did not see before.
I do not suggest this book for readers who like their books to have linear storylines or those who need all the loose ends tied up.
