I read this book in one sitting, it's a quick read but I feel as though it should have taken me longer??
This book SOUNDS amazing, it's a unique retelling, with incredibly interesting characters but the plot just lost me.
I love the characters, one of the sister is blind and the other has no voice and no sense of touch. That was so interesting to read and made this book stand out. They are both strong characters who develop well throughout the story.
When it came to the plot I felt that there was just too much going on. There's stories within stories and each characters past and present is interweaving with others and you start making links between characters and someone else is thrown in. It's a really good story and I feel like if there wasn't so many POVs I would have really really enjoyed it.
However I did still like it and I'm excited to see what's going to happen next because by the ending of the book I was pretty engrossed in what happened and it was a super abrupt ending (not complaining) so I definitely need the next book!
