Well.. now this was a rollercoaster 🎢.
I quite liked the book and I start to understand why Dan is hated though from one side I do see his point of view, personally I'm not against him, I just slightly dislike or maybe I'm kind of disappointed in certain actions. I was fine with the way he was till their relationship became serious and he was aware of what he actually felt. But I don't blame him either.
Let's talk about Nicole.
Her character was so different from Cruel King and her past was really sad maybe between the saddest in the universe.. She's really strong and the fact that she raised Jayden all by herself in a whole other country all alone without support>>>
As for Daniel, well I feel like we could've explored his character more than that but whatever.. I liked him and disliked him + most of the time I had a blank face on it not sure about how to react. Overall we had fun.
When it comes to their relationship, I have mixed feelings about it. It's not about them being together.. I mean..after all that happened just let them be finally together. I don't know honestly, just..something felt amiss.
I'm kind of disappointed we didn't see more of him and Knox, he literally appeared twice for 2 seconds but I was happy we saw Astrid once again with Levi and "met" Lan,Bran and Glyn.
BTW THE WHOLE UNCLE HENRY THING MADE ME TEAR UP I'M SO HAPPY FOR ALL OF THEM.
As for Christopher, trash I remember him, trash he remained.
Oh and I was so happy when Kyle made an appearance!! Ana too!
This book may as well be a 5 star but I'm gonna give it a 4/4.5 because of personal disappointments but nothing much.
