Especially in the beginning, the parts about grief and fear of death were hard for me to handle, because I really didn't expect it to be so raw and realistic. So that's something to look out for.
I enjoyed the writing style a lot, the descriptions were really interesting and poetic (but not too long!), which I'm saying as a person who's not a fan of too much description.
What bothered me was that I had correctly predicted the resolution, although I'm usually not that good at stuff like that. So either I got better at it, or it was a bit too easy (or maybe I'm too old for YA). But it was still thrilling nonetheless.
