I read the first book of the trilogy and while there were parts i liked, there were too many scenes that i didn’t enjoy reading. I don’t like reading a book and not knowing what’s actually going on.

I was enjoying this unique novel until the rape happened. At that point I was like, "there is too much rape in the real world and made-up rape doesn't make that any better". I know some people may have a different opinion but that is where I am at.

If you like to read novels that have a unique approach to how they are written and don't mind reading a graphic description of a rape then this book might be for you. Otherwise, you should probably pass. There are lots of good books out there, far more than any one person could read in a lifetime.

Skruvad bok. Mycket rolig att ha läst, inte lika rolig att läsa.

Genius! This is one of those books I want to start reading again right away even though I've just finished it. If only time was endless... Will definitely be reading again at some point.

Ensimmäinen osa (Sinun silmäsi näkivät minut) on kirjoin heikoin, ikävä kyllä. Toinen ja kolmas osa ovat omasta mielestäni paljon vahvempia, erityisesti kolmas.
