This book was a really good read. It was beautiful written I just really liked how feelings and situations were portrayed. In general this book has a really nice structure. It was really interesting seeing another perspective in this time and it was also really informative. I often forgot the time while reading this book. Because of that and many other aspects I recommend this book to everyone. Thank you :)

Wow, I haven't read an actual book in so long and I read this straight through in a day. My only complaint is that there's not a sequel.
