‘Learn this now and learn it well my daughter: Like a compass needle that points north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman. Always.’

This whole book is heartbreaking, but especially the ending, knowing the current situation in Afghanistan 💔

Enjoyed V.E. Schwab’s writing immensely, as always. That’s what made reading this 500+ page slow burn of a book worth it. But the ending did leave me wanting. Maybe that’s the point though?
A hunger that won’t leave, just like Alice’s? 😅

Did I finish the book or did the book finish me? 🥲 

The only reason I’m not rating this 5⭐️ is because of the pacing, mainly in the first half of the book. But you bet I was sobbing my eyes out reading those last 20 pages 😭 it feels kinda wrong to rate this 4.5⭐️ and Carrie Soto 5⭐️ because I cried a lot more about this book but idk, that’s where I’m at rn 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also, this is the perfect book to adapt into a movie.

Vermakelijk om naar te luisteren, maar alles ging ontzettend snel. De personages maakten hierdoor amper ontwikkeling door en hadden weinig diepgang.  Ook de historische achtergrond en details worden amper uitgewerkt. Beetje een slap aftreksel van Outlander.
