 This is not the first time I've read about an anti-hero that I had actually grown attached to, came to sympathize with. This book, particularly its psychologically dark theme pertaining to the heroine reminds me of An Eternity of Eclipse by Con template, originally an online fiction that was now published and remains to be one of my most favorite series (that I consider a great guilty pleasure too. Hehe) Anywhooo....So a lot has happened in this book. They made me realize that most of what I held on to believe from the first book are just some tiny tips of icebergs, majority of which have drastically morphed, so so far from what I could have expected. There are so much more to this book my heart is teeming with mixed emotions. Whew! I think I can bear to wait a few more months until I get to read the last book. I somewhat need the wait to sort my feelings anyway.
