3.5
the first 10-20 pages is so packed with character intros and world building that it was very overwhelming but once i got through that it did get interesting. i like the overall story. i like the main characters sometimes but i have my issues with them too.
a couple of the big twists were predictable to me, predicted about 100 pages prior to but they were still good.
i’m not personally into the “love conquers all” and “everything happens for a reason” mentalities that come up quite a few times either. Regardless of my personal issues with it though, it was still a pretty entertaining book.

Ich mochte das Buch sehr gerne. Die Trauerbewältigung der Charaktere fühlt sich real und ebenso tragisch an. Das Buch hat viele Stellen, an denen die Trauer eine zentrale Rolle spielt, die ich persönlich schwer zu lesen fand. Dennoch waren diese Stellen ebenso gut, wie der Rest des Buches.
Mir persönlich war jedoch manchmal die sexuelle Spannung im Buch zu viel.
