A marvelous tragic story!
It's definitely a rollercoaster of emotions and feel right from very first page till the very last line of the book.
Eagerly awaiting to start the next one in the series.

P.S. I am reading this books for the first time. This series probably got released when I was in my middle school, never heard of it back then....until recently thanks to booktube and am glad, cause I might not have enjoyed and cherished reading it so endearingly as I am doing now in my 30's.

I feel sneaky and somewhat guilty because my partner and I were supposed to be reading this series together, but it’s been sitting at my bedside while I stare at it longingly. I couldn’t resist. After finishing I am excited to re-read with them and move onto the second book but I also am acutely aware why this series spooked me so much as a child to the point where I abandoned ship.
