I disliked the book so much 
The writing was bad and I couldn’t connect with the characters. 
The plot moved fast and was telling instead of showing. Often I felt like evn the writer forgot what she had written as some sentences were literally repeated two pages further. 
I kind of get now why Gothel thinks mother knows best but what mother knows best I don’t know? 
I wish it was more about the dead woods and how her life was instead of just skipping and skipping times and always coming back to wanting to save her sisters. 

Im glad I finished it
