Pořád je to stará dobrá Škola dobra a zla. Čte se to skvěle, postavy jsou super, ne všechny zvraty se dají čekat a stále si na Chainanim cením toho, že svoje postavy vůbec, ale vůbec nešetří. Místy už se to trochu točí, ale stejně jsem zvědavá na další díl.
A plus bod za tu vymazanou kapitolu s autorskými poznámkami, na to člověk hned kouká jinak! :D

Some bonds are too deep for others to ever understand.

Huh I have no idea if I want to scream, cry, howl, sob or laugh right now. The book was an emotional rollercoaster ride in the truest sense of the word, too many times I fell into grief and then a ray of hope caught me to be able to think anything sensibly now. My Tedros deserves so much better than this, so much, so much better. My Agatha and Sophie gave me the world, they both fought so hard, sacrificed so much, it's incredible and they still have so much to do. The turn of events sent my jaw to the floor and now I don't even know what to do with myself.

There are so many life lessons contained in this magic-filled and yet utterly realistic book. Every twist still amazes me. Every death not without reason. Chainani and team did a really good job!
