Foi interessante ver como ocorreu a história das gêmeas no outro mundo. Porém a escrita mais rebuscada, com requintes sombrios, me fez desfocar um pouco, tornando-a mais longa do que de fato é. No entanto, há ótimas reflexões sobre as imposições que muitas vezes os genitores podem vir a fazer na vida de crianças e como isso impacta e muito, repercutindo para sempre.

I'm still having mixed feelings about this series. The fairytale narrative style is bugging me. But some of the characters in book one were very appealing, so I will probably keep reading to see if we get windows into others' lives going forward.

Content notes for weird twin dynamics and for terrible parenting (not outright abuse so much as refusing to see children as people)
