Ajatuksia herättäväSome characters were so multi-dimensional and seen from so many angles, I've never seen such realistic portrayal of imaginary people. I enjoyed the book a lot, but the ending was so abrupt it left me feeling clobbered on the head. I actually had to go back and re-listen in case it was a glitch and the app had skipped a chapter. To be fair, this could have gone on and on for ever, never neatly wrapped, so I can't now imagine how else it could have ended. Looking forward to seeing how the next book turns out.
