I will defend this book till the day I die I absolutely LOVED reading it! I thought at the beginning it was a bit hard to get into because of all the different names and trying to figure out what is happening, but once it started, I got engrossed by it and I absolutely love all of the different people that make up the story!
I really enjoyed how all of the different stories interlinked with one another and you really gained a better understanding of who we are reading about and their relationships with one another. Yes, sometimes the translations were a bit weird but I enjoyed that part the most - it really made it feel more real.
Absolutely recommend but I understand that this is probably not the book for everyone. Nevertheless, I will be swiftly reading the second one when it arrives at my doorstep.
