I enjoyed the story but at the same time I felt like there would've been space for so much more. It has all the faults that the most awarded stories have in my opinion: it circles around an issue but doesn't solve it, even in its own reality.
So many interesting aspects that I would've loved to learn more about, all of it just dropped in as sidelines and hinted at, none of it actually explored.
5 stars Psychological speculative mystery following Jane, a woman who has suddenly blackouts, premonitions and hallucinations, starts to see a psychiatrist, Dr Byrd, who tries to understand her mysterious condition.
Oh this was such an incredible read. First of all the writing was gorgeous, with a slow burn, emotional literary style. The plot itself was super interesting and I really enjoyed how the author approached themes about mental health, psychology and psychiatry, science and research on the inner workings of the brain and its mysteries. To this the element of speculative fiction was perfectly blended into it. I loved the two main characters and seing events from their point of view. The yearning and angst in their relationship was absolutely delicious and I loved the ending. I'm looking forward to read more of this author.
