Though I enjoyed the book very much the ending left me feeling a little unsatisfied. There was a big telling and little showing when it came to the BIG reveal.

I really did enjoy this book. It felt alike a love letter to book readers. Though very slow in pace I think the imagery and characters make up for it in every way. I did sometimes find it to be excessive but honestly I didn’t mind after a while.
Kat is my favourite character and I wasn’t expecting that AT ALL!
