I was a bit afraid of reading this book for several reasons. It is the last fantasy book by Kerstin Gier I hadn't read yet, so after this I would be done :( And I've heard from some people they were disappointed by this book, so I was a bit hesitant.

I'm so glad I liked it. I liked the ending. I don't really like the blog-ending, but the story lines with the characters give me the closure I need at the end of a series. Great job Kerstin Gier, I love you and your writing! Please write more? :)

I've really enjoyed reading this! There is a lot of coincidences in this book, but I really like the idea and the storyline. The beginning is really strong, it grabbed me at the first couple of sentences. I'm excited to be reading the sequels soon!

I've finished this book in one day! On 4,5 hours of train travel to be precise.

This book was better in getting me awake than a cup of coffee (it was really really early this morning). I flipped pages like a manic on the train, the suspence and everything that was happening in this book, it was SO GOOD.

Bit I really did not like the ending.

Everybody who died, what made the story awesome I think, if beloved characters die, everybody turned out to be alive. Hmm. Did not like. And how everybody ended up with the person they love, even if they were sick or presumed dead, it was too sappy sappy for me compared to the rest of the series.

And what's with the short story in the back? Is this the guy from the thing? I do not get it, so it didn't added anything to the series for me.

But I've really enjoyed these series and I highly recommend them! Book 2 is even my favorite book of the series, so you don;t have to be afraid of a second-book-syndrome :)

What a lovely an amazing book! The story is really special and full of meaning. I love it how everything sort of goes to a mess, it is all turned upside down. It reminds you that those moments can change your whole life and you don't even know it at the moment it is happening. Or sometimes you do. But you can never predict the future, you cannot know for sure how your life looks a year from now.

I also really really like how all the pieces of the puzzle that is her life fit together at the end! How lovely. The only thing I miss is the last letter, and how she and Brad turned out, are they still friends? I expected Brett and brad to end up together a long lime, but I also liked Garrett as a person, so I was happily surprised with the ending of the book :)

I highly recommend this book! It teaches you life lessons.
