5/5 ⭐
I don't usually read fantasy and I haven't read anything from Lavie Tidhar before so this is an interesting introduction for me. I wasn't totally excited when I realized clowns were going to be a huge part of the story but wanted to give it fair chance beyond my discomfort.
The description is very detailed without feeling overwhelming. The world-building alone paints a vivid environment. In fact, two environments that we see the father traverse into to search for an item that could save his sick and dying son. While I didn't feel compelled to complete this story, I did. Getting to the end and having watched the struggle of both the Father and the Stranger in parallels search for this flower they both desperately seek was a lot and I definitely had that 'woah' moment of finally getting there.
I definitely recommend this to fantasy lovers and those who are interested in Lavie Tidhar's work.
