This book was so good! I can see why so many people are obsessed with these series and this is only the first book. I did not see the end coming at all! It's a bittersweet commentary about the human condition. I loved every minute of it!

This is one of my favorite books and that title is not used for many of the books I’ve read. Amazing work. I can’t wait to read book two.
