Great series!

The author is very perceptive of human nature, the flow is smooth, not forced, the plot twisty bit believable. What makes it better is there is always great empathy for the suffering.

tragic, tragic story

I honestly have no other words. Such a sad story; I don’t know how anyone in real life could stand so much pain. I honestly teared up at the end, it was too much.

Satisfying ending. Intriguing enough plot, although some parts were predictable. [QUICK SPOILER] I don’t love the fact that there was an inappropriate age-gap sexual situation where we were to feel sorry for the adult. But all around solid storytelling.
