I gave this book 4 stars not so much because I liked it (although I did enjoy it) but because of how much this book stuck in my head. I read it previously, soon after it was published I think? And even as many of the plot details escaped me the concepts of small eternities and inescapable fates comes back to me sometimes. This series has a light and magical quality to it with the house and garden and shifting realities, but also a dark feeling with the themes of loss it contains. ( )

I don't remember reading it... but I remember it was a little scary if that knife is any indication... ( )
