l’histoire est tjrs aussi incroyable. par contre, les chapitres sont interminablesssssss et les 1200 pages ne sont pas nécessaires, beaucoup d’éléments auraient pu être coupés et le roman aurait été meilleur…

I loved this book! I think it is my second favorite so far, after Outlander. Even though there are a lot of dramatic, tense, and somewhat tragic events, I found this book to be very peaceful. I loved the descriptions of life on the Ridge and I loved seeing the family dynamics and connections between all of the characters. The writing is also beautiful and lyrical
