Me gusto leerlo porque pude conocer algo de la escritura de Sally Green, además que el personaje de Nathan es interesante con respecto a lo que la autora cuenta de él. Me gusta que Sally Green usa el narrador en segunda persona porque por fin hay otro libro que no sea Aura para dar referencia. Sin embargo, el libro tiene momentos muy lentos en los que no desarrolla ni mundo ni personaje y a veces peca de plano. Me ayudó a disfrutar el libro el que yo no tuviera expectativas y aún así no creo que continúe con la saga, no me llama mucho la atención (hasta busqué en que acaba) y prefiero dejarlo así.

unfortunately the show is much much better LMAO but since it was cancelled I’ll probably be sticking this series out just to see how it ends

biggest frustration is the lack of care taken with traumatic things happening to the main character. I wish it was more grounded and that we could see more of how these horrible things happening to Nathan actually affect him. Otherwise a pretty entertaining and fast read
