A very quick read but it was lack luster for me. I didn’t enjoy the analogies nor the images… I know it’s part of the entire aesthetic for the book but it didn’t appeal to me… The story itself is very simple and the characters are pretty bland. As for the ending; it was predictable from the beginning.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
