I wanted to DNF this book on several occasions but was curious to see how it would end. The ending was very fitting although not suprising.
The writing style was at times confusing for me due to the shift in POV and time lines.
I wanted to DNF due to the heaviness of the books and the pretentiousness of the characters.
The book itself is fine, although I would not recommend it to anybody. It is the first book that made me cry on several instances.
