The book is a long story about Kiara and her relationship with the soft blade that surrounds her. It brings ancient and new species into contact with each other, and a spell binding situation of the consequences of human actions of fear, love, lust, and ego.
Futher more over and again this book pushes the idea of what it means to be not quite human, in hindsight almost ever main character displays this idea from a different perspective.
It is definitely a journey style novel. The plot can be meandering and the ending suprising. At many turns it's clear this is not the straight forward plot many books go for. Without understanding that it could be a very long frustrating read. So graba nice nook, take some breaths and just live with Kira, because that's truly how this book shines.
Oh and this is a bit hard core. There's a lectures in the back of the book from “Professors” to explain the sci fi elements. Personally I was satisfied without the deep dive, but knock your socks off!

In occupied France a small village on the coast struggles to survive the brutality and starvation that comes with the German soldiers. Although it's primarily centred around Emma, a genius baker, who creates a network of hidden trade to help her neighbours survive, it also has moments following the stories of the many different inhabitants.
It's a candour is heart wrenching as the sorrow dealt to these poor souls is held not lightly but with defeat. Where even “love” can turn on you.
It leads up to the D-Day invasion right in time for a truly defeated village. Our heroine has refused the resistance right up till the moment, but is in the best position to help the forces as soon as they arrive due to her wit and courage.
This book reminded me of a song. The wording is magical and the entire book plays out like a dance. Granted a very sad dance where the weariness can be felt by the end.
