This is such a lovely novel, that touches the heart of readers simply through the writing style. The cover page have the message difficult to put down is very true, I find it very difficult to put down the book as it creates an eagerness in knowing what will be next. Author is blending emotions, fantasy, love and search for beloved.
Barnhill gives importance to memories throughout the story. The caring Xan, enmagickal girl Luna, sweet lovely monster and a tiny enormous drangon captures a place in our heart. I really loved the concept of sorrow clouds and the way that remained in the novel. The people who blinding followed the powerful and very few who dared to question the people in power and dared to find the truth. The way many stories combine together and the plot twist makes novel interesting.
I personally recommend this bok to everyone both children and adults.
