The start of this book was so regal, full of wonder, and lithe. Then it turned gray, bitter, and I have to say, I did put this book down a couple prolonged times. From my side at that time, it was because I felt disconnected to the plot but then, came to think of it, maybe I was bitter because she was bitter. Though it might feel like so, technicality wise, the stories did became "too big" to the point where it felt like montages when it'll be way better to have more depth.

But, then... Oh, wow... It became so somber and bittersweet, but at the same time it was so gentle that I cried. Even through its many ups and downs, this was an amazing read. I would love to reread this someday.

To the resilient girls who find the strength to keep going. Rulers of her own destiny.
