The writing was beautiful and the portrayal of the characters was nothing I have experienced before. I went with no specific expectations and I was somewhat disappointed of some aspects and the whole point of the retelling, which is something very personal and concerns my views and no one else. Overall it was a very pleasant book and would recommend. So happy that I know what the hype was all about.
