That was so sad. I got emotional a couple of times, the end of it was my undoing. I don’t know why, but I got quickly attached to those characters. I think it was because I saw the main characters downfall through three different eyes. Also having to relive it in the novella. The perspectives of character themselves (trying to not spoil), the boy she cared for, and her best friend. It was different hearing the dying characters perspective because I thought she could hear Paedyn, but she actually couldn't, not even feeling pain. And when I read the perspective of her Mak, oh man I felt empty inside. The complaint I do have though is that I felt like a lot of it was just repeating the same thing over and over again. Like how she was the sun and he’ll be lonely without her. I read through some of it without actually reading because I heard it 50 times before. Other than that though, it was good.
