I had so many expectations and I was not disappointed at allll. For real, everything was so beautiful. The writing, the characters, the story... Everything.
I really got attached to every character... 

Yes, even Luc

The way Addie described life... It was so ethereal. Even after 300 years, she is still amazed by life, art, night... Even if she feels lonely, she managed to get through her long life.
 

So when Henry remembered her, I was so happy for her... Finally, what she has been dreaming for three centuries... However, even if it were cute for Addie, it was cruel from Luc. At this moment, I really hated him.
