Una historia trágica, una historia triste, una historia que seguramente ningún lector espera, una historia perturbadora que no te puede dejar indiferente, seguro sí, querrás llorar en las últimas páginas.

Una historia que aborda temas difíciles de forma directa.

Una historia que te dejará desolado/a.

El argumento es interesante, el final impactante, lástima que para llegar a él hayas tenido que pasar por cientos de páginas con situaciones totalmente gratuitas y sin sentido.

It took me a little while to get into this book, but once I did it completely took over my brain. While it's a traditional story in many ways, it was also unlike anything else I've ever read. I felt like I really was in India during a time when the British were steadily controlling more and more of the country, yet a widespread belief in old, powerful stories and faith persevered. Instead of being just another story about magic, it was a magical story - corny, but true.

Spoiler alert!

I loved this book except that the ending was not a happy one and I feel so hurt. Otherwise there was a fairy tale and it was a good one. There was a mystery with hints that I didn't want to believe. Also of note that it takes place in Germany, so there are a few quirks about life as a senior in high school - exams being very different, universities being different, and calling parents by first names. I need to pick up a copy of this one of my own.
