I've felt the slug and I feel the positive kinetic energy. Great book, would love a small chapter about Roman finally seeing the ocean one day! 
 In such a small amount of pages (302) this book gets a lot of powerful and beautiful things done. I truly loved this book and it is definitely in my top lot of this year. 
 The book begins in such a dark, low place which many people can relate to from times when life has been really difficult. The bang on description about this lowness is what drew me in, when characters became lifted so does the reader. I felt I was with Aysel every step of the way in her journey. I'm really glad I went with her! 
 P.S. I really love that in the first two or so pages it explains how to pronounce Aysel properly (like gazelle) because I was totally one of the people pronouncing it so wrong!
