A great book, though not enjoyable. I personally disliked reading about any other character except Elsa. The plot felt a bit forced and at some parts it was cluttered. Only the ending hooked me. The pace is terribly slow but I absolutely admired the writing. 
Did I cry? Yes 
But will I ever re-read this book? No
