Oh, this book was so good. I literally JUST finished it a few minutes ago and haven’t really had time to sit back and organize my thoughts just yet, but I was completely enthralled with this one, and I’m so annoyed with myself for letting it sit in the pile for so long. I also love that I am familiar enough with Mitchell’s other works to pick up on tiny things and minor characters that have appeared elsewhere.
