Haunting, beautiful, this is a book that you won’t want to put down and will stick with you for a while.

I'd been enjoying this read in its initial half, the writing was beautiful and the story quite intriguing. But as much as the first half raised my expectations, the latter half didn't live up to it for me personally as I found myself losing focus and interest. Maybe it's just me and maybe, I wasn't in the right mood to fully enjoy this book.
