My Thoughts
Initially, it was so hard for me because the first few chapters seemed a bit slow. Nevertheless, while reading Part Two of the book, I experienced a pleasant shock when I discovered that the speed had intensified significantly, and it was just impossible not to fall in love with the book. It is praiseworthy that the author managed to arouse some sense of mystery and tension within the tale.
However, when I finished reading the book, I was disappointed. I could not help feeling that something was missing – this caused feelings of wanting some better closure. I realize that the author might as well have intended not to define the motif of keeping magic, but I wished that all my beloved characters had definite endings.
It was a good read, as the ending slightly disappointed me, but at least it did not bore me throughout. How the story was narrated made it enjoyable; how she created a plot was sincerely fascinating. I connected with the characters because they had strong personalities that made it easy for me to feel their struggles.
However, the beginning chapters were a bit dragged, and it was only in the latter part that the book caught up. Even though I wished for a better resolution, I acknowledge the author’s decision to keep some parts unclear and encourage readers to develop their conclusions.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
