This book really haunted me in my memories; Tahir really does not hold back when it comes to describing the pain, grief and utter violence that the main characters are confronted with. It tackles so many important topics!
This time around, there are three point of views we are following: Laia and Elias plus Helene. I found it really interesting to experience what Helene goes through first hand and to see her developing even further. As of right now, I do not completely agree with everything she does or thinks but I really think her character is up for a lot more development and I am excited to see it!
I loved the plot twists and how all the dots were connected at the end. Yes, the beginning was a little bit slower but it's all worth it! I am really excited to see what comes next for our characters and I really hope that Laia and Elias end up together rather sooner than later!!!
