I feel like I am owed 300 more pages of this. Nothing hurts more than reading twists in the story knowing there won't be enough pages left to make it a happy ending. Anyways, this is just me being selfish. Wonderful book, I shed one aristocratic tear and now I'm gonna go eat some pasta.

All great and precious things are lonely

Wow what a book, utterly engrossing from page one. Normally find myself flying through books that I’m enjoying but I really loved savouring every second of this.

Although the ending of part 3 almost stopped me in my tracks, I grew too attached to the boy that it genuinely hurt me. 1000 out of 5 stars
