This one did things to me. I haven't had a reaction to a book ending like this in a while. The author has to be projecting onto Laurant, meaning that they both plan ahead and have everything planned out. It's brilliant.

5.0

wstyd, ale podobało mi się bardziej niż bym się chciała przyznać. Wciąż  nie była to książka idealna, miała kilka dezorientujących dla mnie momentów, ale dosyć szybko wszystko się tłumaczyło dzięki czemu łatwo było śledzić fabułę. Nie była też aż tak triggerujaca jak pierwsza część co jest dla mnie plusem, ale najważniejszy wydaje mi się rozwój relacji bohaterów. Pojawiło się też kilka plot twistow których niełatwo się było domyśleć, co było pozytywnym zaskoczeniem.
