| Favorite Quote | As long as Ophelia had scruples, as long as she acted according to her conscience, as long as she could face up to her reflection every morning, she would belong to no one else but herself. Pg. 490

| My Review | I am at a loss for words. I tried my best not to finish this book in a day, knowing the despair I would feel for having to wait for the second book. I only succeeded in postponing my curiosity for a day longer. I consumed this book, unable to put it down. What can I even say about it?

   The detail, the flow, the characters, and the writing. All so beautifully put together, I felt like I was watching each scene rather than reading words on a page. The last 200 pages were filled with surprises. I felt shock, anger, dread, and delight. I simply cannot describe my experience past this jumble of thoughts. Maybe one day. Till then, I eagerly await the next book. If only the library could hear my pleas. But alas, I must wait.
