Majstersztyk, moje osobiste top3 Tajfunów o ile nawet nie pierwsze miejsce.

Zachwycająca gra perspektywami, mieszanką narracji. Jako czytelnik siedzimy i głowimy się, jak to jest możliwe, ile jeszcze można a potem przychodzi ostatnie zdanie rozdziału i jesteśmy jak "CO JA WŁAŚNIE PRZECZYTAŁXM".

Brak mi słów, jest wspaniała jak najcudowniejsza matrioszka, właśnie takich Tajfunów pragnę.

YEESH, what a horrible, twisty, downright NASTY easter egg hunt of a book. I didn't know I'd end up with a readalike that blended summer, fireworks, and my corpse and the laws of the skies together so soon after reading both. I need a long bath.

The first chapter of this book was engaging, but it went downhill from there. There is so much repetition that it felt like the author was trying to pad the page count of a novella to become a full novel. It was also way too dark for my taste and the characters didn’t feel like real people to me.
