Boken är välskriven och jag gillar språket i den. Historien är spännande men stundtals lite seg.
Blir lite ledsen att slutet på boken är lite bra för att vara sant. Allt faller på plats på de mest konstiga sätt. Jag gillar boken och tycker helt klart att den är läsvärd.
Denna boken hade jag svårt för att komma in i. Men efter cirka 1/3 av boken var jag helt fast. En så spännande och välskriven bok som målade upp en bild av miljön i boken. Jag älskade att jag inte kunde förutspå hur boken skulle sluta.
