what i really enjoyed about this book was the voice sometimes, i'm overly aware of the pen behind the voice, of a 1st person narrative being a narrative though this was fiction, I truly felt like I was reading the character's selected words and yes, I'm aware this sounds a little silly; every book carries the author in it, etc but the disappearance of the puppeteer of who I was witnessing act on the page was really cool and this stuck out to me particularly because sometimes the writing, the vocabulary and themes were *tiresome* but as I kept reading, I was repeatedly hooked to certain passages grew to know and be so fond of the narrators and other characters the tiresomeness is part of her, part of every person the cost of closeness and having a village is inconvenience, annoyance, boredom, tiresomeness, and still being HELD by the bright pockets through them

the reveal at the end about arthur's life was underwhelming and didn't really deliver
