    This book is well written, of course. The plot is engaging, of course. The descriptions are detailed, of course. However, I found the coincidences in this story too contrived to be really believable. And I.. I recomend this book to friends who have insomnia.

  • It's a long novel but it's definitely worth reading. It's about love, loyalty, honour, friendship
