I really enjoyed reading this book a lot and it helped me put my own life into perspective. I also related a lot to Mara’s character and I really enjoyed watching her relationship with Arthur blossom as they continued to journey together. I also liked the relationship between Arthur and his father, and how similar it is to Arthur’s father’s relationship with his father. I didn’t fully like how the story ended, but I did like that Arthur empathized with Jack, and offered him a chance of redemption.

The first half of the book was plot driven but the second half was entirely character driven. It felt the end was abrupt and unsatisfying.

This book is beautifully written. I love the small details to the mystery that I got to piece together as I read through it. The dialogs in this book is natural and interesting. Towards the end of the book I was surprised by the ending. So many emotional rolacoster ride in this book. Highly recommend reading this if you like emotional/sad books.

This book means everything to me. You know in the movies where the reader is ripping through the pages in anticipation for what comes next? That was me. I went through a rollercoaster of emotions and audibly gasped multiple times at the twists and turns the book was taking me through. Upon nearing the end, I went and reread some parts as well as the journal entries/poems of Arthur’s grandfather and began to piece things together. It just all came together so perfectly and beautifully. As another reader said, I put down the book at the end and felt immense compassion towards the characters. Arthur was frustrating at times, and lovable at others - realizing what he went through only puts this more into perspective. I’m so glad I came across this book. There was never a dull moment for me personally. I couldn’t recommend it enough. I can’t wait to reread.

This is an adventure book, wrapped in mystery, driven by clues, and riddled with unpredictable twists and turns. All the primary characters are a little morally grey, some more than others. That said, in the end I wound up feeling compassion, or at least understanding for them.
