🇳🇱: Jeetje wat een boek.  Ik heb me geen moment verveelt! Het is een dik boek, maar het is het zeker waard. Het boek heeft een mooi afwisseling van spanning en gebeurtenissen. Ook krijg je een heel goed beeld van de karakters en de redenen van hun gedrag. Er zit emotionele boodschap achter elk character die mij persoonlijk echt aansprak. Er was niet echt Spice maar de romantiek tussen de personen is gwn echt perfect. De afwisseling tussen verschillende perspectieve is ook heel fijn

🇬🇧: jeez what a book. I haven't been bored at all! It is a big book but I had a hard time putting it down. You also get a good look into the history of the characters and you get why they behave the way they behave. Every character  has a emotional story behind them and that got to me! There is not really spice but the romance in this book is chef kisses! It is a slow burn romance but not annoying. I would totally recommend it. I love the different perspectives, that really made a difference

OH MY GOD. I have no way to actually say this other than I am wrecked. I’ve never sobbed over a book…until today. I’ve cried but never SOBBED like I did for this ending. I took my time with this duology despite how addictive it is (mostly cuz school ugh) but that also meant I really got the sit with these characters and at this point, they just mean so much to me. I loved how sharp this book was, how witty and clever, the moments of levity were perfectly placed and the moments of sadness, of human desperation, of human love, they were all so powerful. I know this is a popular book and that it isn’t perfect (no book is) but it really is one of my favorite things I have read and it was more than a little life changing for me.
