This reads like a story your parents would tell you before tucking you in at night. It has adventure, life lessons, and a happy ending. What more could you ask for?

How anyone could rate this below 3 ⭐️ blows my mind. If your looking for a book that will make you reach for your own dreams... This is It! 5 stars ⭐️ for me.
fast-paced

kind of confusing towards the 75% mark on like whos pov it was like with the glass owner and stuff. but it wasnt a bad book. it definitely reminded me to take a second a look around once in a while.

I can't say anything about this book, except that even 5 stars aren't sufficient for such a book!

favorite quotes:

"No project is completed until its objective has been achieved".

"The darkest hour of the night come just before the dawn".

"The natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise, the existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that's perfect"

Één van de meest cliché boeken die ik ooit las, maar zo mooi verpakt dat je dat zo vergeet. Een aanrader voor zei die hun droom nog moeten waarmaken en zei die het enkel bij het dromen houden.
