I have mixed feelings on this one. While I liked the story for the most part, there were parts that I felt were a little over dramatic. I also figured out the little twist way in advance. I did like the two main characters but wished they had communicated better with each other. I also thought the fact that Maxim had been player before he meet Alissia was overly used and got a bit old after a while.

Liker nok første boka bedre, men historien bygger videre og den er helt utrolig vakker og jeg likte boka skikkelig godt. God balanse mellom en god historie og fantastisk smutt.
