This was an exceptional read. It was informative and inspiring. I believe if every single person in the world read this book, the world would be a much better place. It was short and powerful. It opened my eyes to new understandings. I would recommend this with all my heart.

A humorous short read. With tricks and twists. Fun for a short tale. Wilde was an exceptionally talented author.

An interesting read. Not exactly what I was expecting, but not horrible. Some of the proposals aren't really my type, and thus not as fun to read. Overall, it was a very spicy read and fun for something different.

I was very excited to read this novel. The reviews and recommendations were very good. I was a little bit disappointed. The world building and writing style was good, but the plot was a bit dull. The plot-twist was very well written though. I was surprised and wordlessly stunned. Ultimately, I did enjoy the novel very much.

I liked the story very much. But the writing style was absolutely immaculate. I enjoyed the humour very much. It's quirky, funny, and lovely, and very snarky.

It wasn't a bad novel. Not the best I've ever read. It wasn't badly written. Sentence structuring could use some work. I enjoyed the story and romantic aspects.  The erotica aspects were good.

This novel was written to inspire, and it did exactly that. It is a short novel, meant to enrich your soul by showing how a person cannot live without art (and poetry in particular). I an in love with how wonderful it was. I cried and laughed and sighed and enjoyed. I believe the following quote will perfectly explain how I feel.

"Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book." - John Green

Reread from 2022. Still an absolutely amazing novel. It's the perfect end to an adventure of a series with twists and turns that leave you breathless and wanting for more.

Reread from 2022. I still love this novel. It gives a much needed redemption arc to Chaol. Not my favourite in the series, but a welcome addition.
