This book was heart wrenching and so beautifully written. You can’t help but feel for these characters and the things that they’ve gone through. I found that  when the author would reveal new information to the reader it was done so expertly and always at the right time. The many mysteries throughout this novel and the short chapters made for a very engaging read. The motifs and themes throughout this book were so thought out and well written. Not only was the plot good but the writing was also executed very well which just made this book even more amazing.
