Achei que esse livro foi mais longo do que deveria. A parte em Ischia me cansou e entediou, apesar de ser muito importante para a trama. As pessoas com que Elena se envolve são chatas e me cansava ler sobre o que eles falavam. Não gostei muito da mudança da escrita, parágrafos longos que não dizem nada. Preferia as frases e parágrafos curtos cheios de sentido do primeiro livro.
O final foi de cortar o coração. Onde a vida da Lila foi parar é de doer. Aliás, toda história da Lila é triste demais. Continuo com vontade de ler os próximos, quero muito saber o que irá acontecer, me apeguei a todos os personagens. Esperava mais, mas não foi de tanto mal assim.
