Journal Entry 2 by Alectoness at Wimbledon, Greater London United Kingdom on Saturday, June 27, 2015
I did read this, and enjoyed it in parts, but got lost amongst all the characters and their backstories. It was good as a stand alone novel, but I think I would've got more from it if I'd read the other books in the trilogy first.
Will find somewhere to wild-release this over the next week before we leave the UK.
