The story involves two time periods. I usually don’t like this because it takes skill to do it in a way that doesn’t seem contrived, isn’t confusing, or isn’t done just for the gimmick. This author manages to weave in the two time periods effortlessly. They are both necessary for the story and I adore figuring things out before our main character because the author still manages to hold things back. You figure things out, but still don’t have all the pieces. It’s done in a natural way so that things remain surprising.
I enjoyed the story and must acknowledge the masterful work of the voice actress. She did a fantastic job!
