I enjoyed this book, especially as we got to see more into Maud’s past. I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the ending, though. I hope there will be another book to tie up some loose ends!

Uau quando eu pensei que esta senhora já não me pode surpreender BAM 

Devo admitir que no início do livro comecei a ficar aborrecida com a ideia de more uma clara sociopata no mínimo estar a analisar os seus erros passados ou até sentir remorsos, mas a sua decisão no final foi prefeita com aquilo que sabemos dela. ADOREI o reverter da moeda e como no fundo a Maude tem sem sombrw de dúvidas uma origem sombria mas também é a consequência do seu ambiente. No final espero que ela viva o suficiente para pelo menos mais uma aventura.
