Die Art und Weise, wie das Buch geschrieben wurde, gefällt mir sehr. Allgemein habe ich das Gefühl bekommen, dass dieses Buch für mich alleine geschrieben wurde. Die Teile des Buchs haben mich alle auf ganz unterschiedlicher Art und Weise berührt. Selbst den großen Twist konnte ich nicht vorhersehen. Die Leserin war fantastisch. Im Endeffekt ist das Buch doch sehr traurig - es hat mich zum weinen gebracht. Den zweiten Teil würde ich aber nicht lesen wollen. Ebenso wenig kann ich mir vorstellen, das Buch noch einmal zu lesen.

I have so much to say about this and nothing to say about this at the same time. Just like, why would you write this? It wasn’t terrible, I just don’t know what the intention was here.

This was soo good, the mystery and intrigue was *chef’s kiss* fantastic, and the character development (particularly of Cadence) was really well done.

 I definitely hadn’t expected that ending or the twist but will say, if you’re prone to sobbing during books (like me) then definitely have some tissues handy cause it gets pretty emotional.
