On the island, everything is perfect. The sun rises in a sky filled with dancing shapes; the wind, water, and trees shelter and protect those who live there; when the nine children go to sleep in their cabins, it is with full stomachs and joy in their hearts. And only one thing ever changes, on that day each year when a boat appears from the mist upon the ocean carrying one young child to join them - and taking the eldest one away, never to be seen again.

Too slow, no resolution. Ran out of gas.
Revisado: 03-06-24
As many of the reviewers have already said there are too many unanswered questions.
About halfway through the book we were teased with the idea of finding out more about the island, but nothing ever emerged.
The first seven hours of the book were slow paced with nothing concrete ever happening, and the last forty-five minutes felt like an unmotivated writer trying to finish the story with whatever ending she could grab.
I can see the writer staring at her screen trying desperately to think of something, ANYTHING, that could address the mystery of the island, and to salvage some kind of ending, before throwing up her arms in frustration and saying, "screw it, good enough, I'm done".
You have been warned.
