What a beautiful cover!
I really enjoyed this book. Full of twists and turn the story is really interesting and grabs you right from the beginning. The story is very character driven, all of them really evolve, and that is very interesting to witness. All the girls are so strong and powerfull, I love it!
On a less positive note, I think that the story really lacks more detailed descriptions of the creatures (deathshrieks). I'm not a very imaginative person so, throughout the reading, I really struggled to compose a clear picture of the creatures in my brain.
This was a great, and very interesting, reading and I'm curious for the next book.
