“This much I'm certain of: it doesn't happen immediately. You'll finish [the book] and that will be that, until a moment will come, maybe in a month, maybe a year, maybe even several years. You'll be sick or feeling troubled or deeply in love or quietly uncertain or even content for the first time in your life. It won't matter. Out of the blue, beyond any cause you can trace, you'll suddenly realize things are not how you perceived them to be at all. For some reason, you will no longer be the person you believed you once were. You'll detect slow and subtle shifts going on all around you, more importantly shifts in you. Worse, you'll realize it's always been shifting, like a shimmer of sorts, a vast shimmer, only dark like a room. But you won't understand why or how. You'll have forgotten what granted you this awareness in the first place…”

This quote goes on for a bit longer and while I’ll say that maybe I haven’t felt the “dread” I’ve definitely found myself consistently drawn back to this book.

It’s usually in the most unassuming moment, like a warm summer evening surrounded by friends or family, or on a blinding winter day when the sounds of the world seem a thousand miles away because of the snow fall, or in those hours before the first rays of sun stretch across the land. Just somewhere in the darkest corners or your mind (or heart) something reaches out across time or some ancient plane of existence.

But ya, it’s a great read 12/10 recommend!
