Going into this book I didn't quite know what to expect, since I've watched the series beforehand, but also heard that the book was very different. It was a very interesting read. Funny and charming in the beginning and slowly getting darker and darker. I personally would've liked a bit more of a reaction at the end and maybe a bit more closure, but it was still a great book that I can only recommend. ❤
