Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed reading this book. I usually don't read about the author part but tonight I did and I completely agree that Atticuss' story had to be told to understand him and what made him the monster he was. I also believe he has finally joined Genny for their well deserved happy eternity.

I was very pleased with this storyline of Atticus (briath father). I now understand how things were back then to now and how he came to be such a heartless broken soul. Love all these books so far. And i just started to read them a week and half a go.

this was the saddest book I have ever read. I cried all day today but couldn't stop reading, because it is very powerful and really a side of life that does need to be told. amazing work and an amazing addition to the series.
