DID NOT FINISH: 20%

Not feeling it right now.  It’s rather boring to me. 

I was very confused at the ending, as I felt like there was so much more to be said. And then I learned that this was a series I give it higher reading now and I hope Fredrik will forgive me.

4.25. The character development and story were just incredible. I felt like I knew each and every town member. I could tell that this was originally written in a different language. I loved the women slowly learning how to stand up for themselves and other women as the book progressed.
