And I just did not feel exactly the same, and it's completely unsettled me (especially because clinically, I can see its appeal). I think part of the problem is that I've read several beautiful, glowing reviews on this story. This is one of those reviews that I rewrote several times, and I'm still struggling to express my feelings about the book. I just couldn't anticipate her behavior, and that made her tough for me to understand. B ut I didn't connect with the story and its characters on as deep a level as I would have liked, especially Seraphina whom I had a really hard time reading (i.e. I am in awe of the world this author has created, and the messages conveyed in the telling - about accepting oneself, about self-sacrifice and putting others' needs first, about how difficult it can be to uproot deep-seated prejudices, about how you're never as alone as you think you are.
