Rezension von Agostina.3.75⭐ This was a great story, clever but also heartbreaking. Man, I hated those freaking fairies — I was really rooting for the protagonist and his allies (friends!) until the very end!!! A story of impotence, despair, anger, injustice... but also bravery, acceptance, sacrifice, and hope. I kinda wish this wasn't such a long book, but I like how the plot is constantly moving along and there is always something happening that makes you want to keep reading. It's one of those that make you feel like you're watching a movie in your head.
