I couldn't really put it down once I got started. The plot builds up and once you're hooked, you need to see it through to the end. Love perseveres through the most difficult times and the best of humanity will pull through. This one is going to stick with me for a while!

This book was SAD. I mean, I guess the ending was kinda hopeful, but mostly it made my heart feel heavy and my chest ache.

This book made me think about what it means to be a person. What makes a person themselves. Which is not the lightest of themes, but a necessary thing to ponder about. I loved ot for that!
What left me disappointed was the ending, it felt rushed and too glossed over for my liking. It almost felt like an ending to a first book of a series, but it's not. It did not satisfy my curiosity at all.
