Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>"Even paradise could become a prison if one had enough time to take notice of the walls."</i></b></blockquote> This was definitely interesting. Not amazing, but then again its an introductory book, presenting the main characters, the plotline and setting up the events for the next installments. The writing is easy and fluid, so I flew through the book and it was compelling enough to keep me reading till the end. And there were some surprising twists, especially in the end, that have me curious to pick up the sequel. I have to say Cleo is by far my favorite of the characters so far - she's feisty and brave and doesn't shy from doing what she thinks is right, damned the consequences (even though she is a bit reckless and impulsive and that's what keeps getting her in trouble through the novel). Magnus and Lucia are interesting characters and have a lot of potential, I want to see what will become of them in book 2. Jonas is my least favorite MC, he's annoying, unnecessarily angry and impulsive. His plotline was the least interesting to me. I do hope that he has a good character development in the next novels. I've been warned that the story has a lot of twists and turns through the volumes, so my curiosity is piqued. I pretend to read the following book soon.
