My Review: Wonderful series! The art is gorgeous, detailed, just beautiful. The story itself is dark, sad and absolutely intriguing. The problem is that I have very little to say when I like a series or book. My words are slower in praise. And simple and straightforward is the only way for my express my true delight for something.
Most of the stories in this series are bittersweet. And I did read these books a while ago, so details are a bit hazy for me. But I think it was the final book that got me, it made the whole series worth it. It was sad, dark, surprising and completely satisfying.
The main character, Pamela, is a worthy heroine, and I would have liked more of her story. But I am fine with what I got.
Rating 4.5/5
This is a great series and I demand that you try it out.
