I cannot put onto words just how brilliant this book is. It is absolutely stunning. It is one of a few books in which when I finished it I wanted to start it all over again. This book remains #1 on my all-time list.

After reading the first 50 pages of this breathtaking book, I had to put it down. It is so brilliantly realized, so well written, so engagingly plotted—so PERFECT—that I couldn’t bear to read on in case it did not live up to such early promise. But the book, astonishingly, only gets better. Characters, themes, daring experiments with time and space—and genre—come together in a flawless dance. I could not put this book down. Really. Give yourself a gift by reading this remarkable book.
Once again, Anthony Doerr’s novel blows me away!

While I know this book isn’t for everyone, I find a majority of those who have found solstice in books and have been entranced with mythical stories since childhood, who like a bit of intellect thought & blending of different genres depending on what era the character/POV we were currently entranced with reading (almost as if he writes a spell that weaves a beautiful novel! Can’t wait to check the rest on his roster
not as exciting

Excessively long and convoluted for me. I loved all the light you cannot see, and this new book did not measure up to that for me.
A Must Read

This story is written so well and it’s so moving. It’s an old theme, but super well done.
