What a fantastic use of a novella, I appreciated these 108 pages so much oh my goodness. Love loved Aaron’s POV and discovering parts of the story we already know but from his perspective, helping me warm up to him immensely! He’s just a damaged soul trying to do his best in his bleak circumstances, explanations are given and plot points are expanded on and who knew, Aaron Warner actually has a good heart. Part of me feels protective of him.
I also adored the insight into Juliette’s journal entries that she kept whilst she was isolated in the asylum, further cementing the chaotic thoughts she had, and the empathetic way that Aaron reacted to reading these. Loved. Looking forward to book 2 after this complex and layered character development of Aaron. Thank you Mafi.
Satisfactory ending? Cliffhanger, yes.
