The timthere are very few books that make me /think/ and this is one of those books Such a good and intense story with characters I truly cared about. The timelines confused me a little bit (and even still I felt a bit confused at the climax) but it also allowed for some really cool moments when I made connections and it was amazing Overall I very much enjoyed it. A lot of language for those who may be sensitive to it and a couple very brief sexual-related scenes (less than a page each) but they contributed strongly to the story so I was okay with them....more

I’ve been meaning to read it for years and I’m so glad I finally did. I was hooked throughout the entire story and I got so attached to the characters and I especially loved the relationship developing between Gills and Eirinn. Now I know why Bella likes Gills so much. Overall a really enjoyable read. No regrets ...more
