I admit, unashamedly, that I bought this book for its cover. It's gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Composition, typeface, colour, atmosphere - it has it all. BUT I think it ends at the cover. đ
The descriptions were poorly drawn and sometimes conflicting. The only part of this book I agreed with was this diabolical monologue from what is supposed to be the climax, while the real climax is happening elsewhere. That's sad when you're rooting for the villain to take out the heroine. Sad because the cover had such promise but as they don't judge a book for it's cover, positive or negative.
