I really don't have any expectation, and i don't receive any unexpected impression either tbh. I think the writing style is beautiful and deliberate in the way that it unfolds a story. There are specks of thoughts that show the traits of the characters, they are scattered in the right place, which i think is very neat. Not to mention how tender and melancholic this love story is. It's just that i feel everything is too good in the flow? Well personally i like it more if something or any of the characters messed up a bit too much. Nonetheless, this book is well written. 

Also, I hope Ludwik is happy.
