This book isn't perfect, but it's perfectly captivating, and now I'm among the legions of fans (im)patiently dreaming of Book 2.

The illustrations in this book are absolutely beautiful! The content is very difficult. It is a lot of sadness upon sadness without much respite at all, expect in a few small places.

The characters are very interesting and I really enjoyed reading about their stories. I know that parts of this are inspired by true events.

I will definitely read the sequel when it comes out.
