I can't wait to read another book by Tabitha Suzuma, all the other story lines also look fantastic, but I don't think that I will read another book for a while that will live up to this standard. I just can't get it out of my head, and I am already recommending it to friends. It was such a beautifully written, unusual story, the ending so unexpected even though you suspected it all along. Never have I read something with such a brutal, unhappy ending, that still in a way makes me happy because it gives out hope and takes a look from a totally new perspective, that I would never have thought of, on this subject. My chest literally ached as I read the ending again and again, hoping each time that I had gotten it wrong (though unfortunately I hadn't).
The characters, all of them, were just so real and that made it so much worse, that it was clear that this kind of thing happens. It gives you a new view on things you would never have thought of. It is the type of book that opens your mind to the world around you, that shows you how unfair life is, and that no matter how hard it may be, someone has always got it harder. In a way I wish I had never read this book, because it is so sad, but every time I think that, I regret it instantly. It has been replaying over and over in my head making me feel sad at random moments and not letting me fall asleep. A book has never hit me so powerfully before that I can't stop thinking about it.
And every time I read it again, it tugs a little bit more at my heart strings, knowing the fate that lies ahead of Lochie and Maya.
