Though there were times it dragged on a bit too much, I'm glad to say that I actually really liked this book. This is my first time reading any of Schwab's works and they've been on my list for quite a while. I can really find myself latching onto her style. What really drew me to this book was the premise, as I'm a big fan of the whole Faustian bargain plotline. There are so many wonderfully captured emotions and experiences on display here and it all culminates in a bittersweet ending that I think was well earned. Definitely looking forward to my next read from this author.
