I like the drawing throughout the story 

I like Aster but I feel like in the end he’s going to be the villain and do something bad to Avera 

His own son he disgusts me. 

I would have tired to find a way to kill him if I was his wife. 

Overall a good story still like aster but sad he didn’t make it. Saw the betrayal coming. I’m glad she got a family/friends somewhat in the end. She finally got to meet her brother goes to shows you not all darkness is bad not all shadows mean you harm. When you’re too focus on one aspect of your life, feeling or person you lose sight of the bigger picture. Aster and Alma could have had a different life and path had they knew that. 

It was sad to read Aster story. I understand him a little more and dislike people sometimes. 

I enjoyed this story 

There’s action, friendship, hatred, war, loss and a sort of awaking in this story. 

I like the drawing throughout the story

Alma is the main character; she has had a hard life all she wants to do is turn it around for her mother. 

In the end she learns to trust herself and to stand on her own 2 feet. I’m glad she got a family/friends somewhat in the end.

Aster was my favorite. He has also had a hard life from an earlier age. 

Alma’s father disgusted me throughout the whole book. Just when I didn’t think he could do anything worse BAM! I was proven wrong. 

My other favorite character was Six. I enjoyed him and hopefully he has more of a role in the next book. 

I enjoyed reading about the trails they had Alma go through. Her strength and stubbornness got to shine. 

I could sometimes see the hateful anger expression on their faces; when Alma proves time and time again she is not a force to be messed with or taken lightly. 

It goes to shows you not all darkness is bad not all shadows mean you harm. When you’re too focus on one aspect of your life, feeling or person you lose sight of the bigger picture. Aster and Alma could have had a different life and path had they knew that. 

It was sad to read Aster story. I understand him a little more and dislike people sometimes. 

Michelle Wong did a good job with this story. It is not your normal now of day sweet love story. 

The faint of heart should think twice for reading it. 

I was giving this book in
